Moving tale
of love and loss
NEWYORKSusan G. Ko-
men for the Cure, the re-
nowned breast-cancer charity,
faced an escalating backlash
Thursday over its decision to
cut breast-screening grants to
Planned Par-
enthood.
Some of Ko-
mens local
affiliates are
openly upset,
and at least
one top offi-
cial has quit,
reportedly in
protest.
Mean-
while, Ko-
menhas been
deluged with
negative
emails and
Facebook
postings, accusing it of knuck-
ling under to pressure froman-
ti-abortion groups, since The
Associated Press reported on
Tuesday that Komen was halt-
ing grants that PlannedParent-
hood affiliates used for breast
exams and related services.
The grants totaled $680,000
last year.

Punxsutawney Phil, Pennsyl-
vanias weather-forecasting
groundhog, saw his shadow
Thursday, prognosticating six
more weeks of winter.
At least some local business
owners are hopingPhil was right.
This winter has beenone of the
warmest in a decade, with tem-
peratures running about 5 de-
grees above average inDecember
and January.
As a result, many including
consumers facing heating bills
and publicly funded crews
chargedwithkeeping roads snow
and ice free have benefited so
far this winter.
But those who count on snow
and cold weather have come up
short.

mildly, saidMarkVerrastro, gen-
eral manager of Sn Mountain

NAIROBI, Kenya Roy Hallums was
enduring his 311th day of captivity, blind-
folded, his hands and feet bound, stuffed
into a hole under the floor of a farmbuild-
ing outside Baghdad. He heard a commo-
tionupstairs andmanagedtoget theblind-
fold off. Delta Force troops broke open the
hatch. AnAmericansoldier jumpeddown.
He looks at me and points and says,
Are you Roy? I say yes, and he yells back
up the stairs: Jackpot! Hallums recalled
in a phone interview with The Associated
Press six years after his rescue.
Another mission by elite U.S. troops
took place just last week, this time in So-
malia, resultinginanAmericananda Dan-
ish hostage being rescued and nine kid-
nappers killed.
U.S. special forces units are compiling a
string of successful hostage rescues,
thanks to improved technology and a dec-
ade of wartime experience. But despite
technological advances like thermal imag-
ing and surveillance drones, the raids re-
main high-risk. Success or failure can de-
pend on a snap decision made by a rescuer
with bullets flying all around, or determi-
nation by kidnappers to kill any captives
before they can be freed.
In 2010, the U.S. Navys SEAL Team 6
tried to rescue Linda Norgrove, a Scottish
aid worker, fromher Taliban captors in Af-
ghanistan. She was killed by a grenade
thrown in haste by one of the American
commandoes.

preliminary hearing before
Senior District Judge Andrew
Barilla on Wednesday.
Dominick A. Dente, 58, of

WILKES-BARRE A She-
nandoah man was sentenced
Thursday to two to four years
in state prison on charges he
committed a string a burglar-
ies over a four-month period.
Todd Aaron Issermoyer, 43,
of West Atlantic Street, was
sentenced by county Judge
Tina Polachek Gartley on
three burglary-related charges
and one count of theft by
deception in cases where
police say he removed blank
checks and jewelry from sev-
eral people.
Polachek Gartley also or-
dered Issermoyer to serve
three years probation. Isser-
moyer pleaded guilty to the
charges in November.
According to court papers,
on Oct. 10, 2010, police said
Rachael Paden reported that
she noticed jewelry missing
from her residence, and
checked local pawn shops to
find her missing pieces. In
another incident, police said
that on March 24, 2011, they
learned from Stanley Carter
of Drums that someone broke
into his home and removed
signed blank checks from his
kitchen.
That same day, police were
also alerted to the report of a
suspicious person in Dorrance
Township. Dave Lehman
reported to police an un-
known man came to his home
and began looking into win-
dows when Lehman didnt
answer the door.

POLICE BLOTTER
SUGAR NOTCH The bor-
ough will receive a $110,000 state
grant that can be used for both
demolition and road rehabilita-
tion, borough officials said
Wednesday night.
At its monthly meeting, coun-
cil voted to change its building
demolition project from Main
Street to Mill Street.
The borough must use the
grant by the end of 2012.
The property on Mill Street,
which borough officials believe is
a safety hazard, is owned by a
woman who now resides in a
nursing home. The building has
been a safety hazard for the past
five years, although the owner
lived in the home up until a year
and a half ago. She refused in the
past to sign over the building to
the borough, so that it could le-
gally have the structure demol-
ished.
The borough is looking to file a
complaint stating the building is
asafetyhazard. Theowner would
then be responsible for any fines
imposed on the property. Mayor
William Davis said that in lieu of
the fines, the owner might agree
to sign the property over to the
borough.
Councilman Mario Fiorucci
spoke on his idea to work out an
agreement with Solomon Recy-
cling. Fiorucci said Solomon of-
fers a 6-yard Dumpster, which
would be emptied every two
weeks at a cost of $60 per month,
or a smaller Dumpster, which
would be emptied every week, at
a cost of $80 per month.
The downside to these options
wouldbe that plastic, paper, glass
and other items would all be
mixed together and sorted out at
the recycling facility. The bor-
ough would only get an estimat-
edcredit for the recyclables at the
time of pickup. No weight slips
would be given. This recycling
method is known as single-
stream recycling.
Fiorucci said Solomon stated
the contract would entail a six-
month minimum for the trial pe-
riod, after which the borough
wouldbe requiredto signa three-
year contract with the company.
Fiorucci is also looking for a
contract to start the process of a
shoulder road paving process.
The startingpoint wouldbeginat
the corner of Connor and Main
streets and end at the stop sign in
Warrior Run. Fiorucci said there
are no sidewalks on the right side
of this road, and it can be very un-
safe for pedestrians and bike rid-
ers. PennDOT would automati-
cally fund the project if Warrior
RunandSugar Notchagreetothe
process.
The fire department will hold
two fundraising events -- a break-
fast on Feb. 12 from 8 a.m. to
noon, as well as a fish fry on
March 2 and 3 from 4 to 8 p.m.

WILKES-BARRE A
city man charged with car-
jacking a teens vehicle and
other crimes was sen-
tenced Thursday to three
to six years in state prison.
Brian Miller, 33, with a
last knownaddress of Scott
Street, was sentenced on
four counts of theft andone
count each of robbery, ter-
roristic threats, unlawful
restraint, unauthorizeduse
of a motor vehicle, reckless
endangerment, access de-
vice fraud and criminal
conspiracy by county
Judge William Amesbury.
Amesbury also sen-
tenced Miller to five years
probation to be served af-
ter his prisonsentence, and
gave Miller credit for 174
days of time already served
in prison.
Millers charges stem
froma case in which police
say he carjacked a teen and
then led police on a high-
speed chase.
Police say Miller car-
jacked a vehicle of a
then-17-year-old boy who
was pumping gasoline at a
Turkey Hill on North Penn-
sylvania Boulevard on July
27.
Miller got into the car
while Mark Macosky was
filling up and told him to
drive. Miller said he had a
gun and would kill Macos-
ky if anyone foundout Mill-
er took the car.
As Macosky was driving,
Miller told himto pull over
and then shouted Get
out. Macosky pulled over
in the area of 190-192 Penn-
sylvania Ave. and Miller
said, Give me 10 minutes
and if anyone finds out, I
will return and kill you.
Sugar Notch police en-
countered the vehicle and
tried to stop it, but Miller
sped away. The chase con-
tinued on Interstate 81
southbound with the car
reaching speeds in excess
of 100 mph.
Around 4:15 p.m. police
from Sugar Notch, Hazle-
ton, West Hazleton and
Butler Township and the
state police caught Miller
in Beaver Meadows, Car-
bon County.
In the other cases, begin-
ning on July 4, Melissa Kiz-
er reportedtopoliceMiller,
her ex-boyfriend, stole a
video game system, dia-
mond ring and gold neck-
lace from her residence.
A few days later, Kizer
said Miller used her debit
card without her permis-
sion, and spent $389.
When police questioned
Miller, he allegedly said he
had become addicted to
Oxycontin and was trying
to support his habit.
On July 18, Kizer again
reported to police that
Miller took a fire safe box
from her residence that
held a $100 savings bond.
Amesbury said Miller
must undergo a mental-
health evaluation and is to
have no contact with Kizer.
Carjacking brings 3-6 years in prison for W-B man

RICE TWP. The
board of supervisors ap-
proved a resolution on
Thursday that outlines
the protocol for supervi-
sion of township employ-
ees, record keeping and
accounting.
Under Resolution 20, at
least two supervisors
must be present when any
direction is given to town-
ship solicitors or account-
ants regarding their duties
to the municipality.
According to board
Chairman Miller Stella Jr.,
the wording of the new
resolution was vetted by
local attorney Chris Ger-
ber prior to publication
and passage.
The need for the reso-
lution was clear, Stella
said. We wanted the left
hand to know what the
right hand was doing at
all times.
Stella added that the
new law would bring an
added layer of transparen-
cy to the governing proc-
ess in the township and
help shield board mem-
bers and employees from
litigation.
Stella, along with Su-
pervisor George Venesky
and seven other township
officials, are defendants in
a multi-count lawsuit that
newly elected Supervisor
Marcia Thomas, the for-
mer township secretary,
had filed last year.
The lawsuit came after
Stella and Venesky voted
to terminate Thomas in
January 2011. She had
worked for the township
since 1990.
The township officials
had said Thomas was not
retained because she kept
shoddy and incomplete re-
cords pertaining to town-
ship affairs and finances,
kept secret correspond-
ence about the townships
pension fund that had suf-
fered a $280,000 loss, ha-
rassed the auditors during
the auditing process and
committed a criminal act
by smoking within her of-
fice, which triggered a vis-
iting Girl Scout member
to have an asthma attack,
according to a May 2011
Times Leader story.
In other business
Thursday, the board voted
unanimously to approve
the new three-year police
contract through 2014
that gives the five full-
time officers 4 percent
raises each year, Venesky
said.

Selenski figure appears
The co-defendant of murder suspect
Hugo Selenski appeared in Luzerne
County Court on Thursday to meet
the judge handling his case and to
speak with his attorney and prosecu-
tors.
Paul Weakley, 42, who is serving life
in prison on a federal charge relating
to the 2003 deaths of Michael Kerkow-
ski and Tammy Fassett, appeared
before Judge Fred Pierantoni.
Prosecutors said Weakley will con-
tinue to cooperate with investigators
in cases against Selenski.
Police said Kerkowski and Fassetts
bodies were unearthed on the property
where Selenski lived in Kingston

LUZERNE COUNTY
Ex-officials contest suit
Lawyers representing former Lu-
zerne County Retirement Board mem-
bers have filed objections to a suit
seeking payment of legal fees for past
county controller Steve Flood.
Floods estate filed suit in December
demanding payment of fees Flood
incurred fighting a defamation suit
involving his Novem-
ber 2002 comments
on a radio program.
That libel suit was
discontinued in No-
vember, four months
after Floods death.
The Philadelphia-
based Schnader,
Harrison, Segal &
Lewis sued Flood and his partner and
guardian, Heather Paulhamus, in 2010,
seeking $205,696 in legal fees for rep-
resenting him in the defamation suit.
The county Retirement Board had
initially agreed to pay for Floods legal
defense in the libel suit but reversed
the decision shortly after Flood lost
his bid for re-election in 2005.
Former board members Maryanne
Petrilla, Thomas Cooney, Stephen A.
Urban, Walter Griffith and the late
Michael Morreale are listed as defend-
ants.
Their lawyers said the suit should
be dismissed because it didnt provide
required written documentation and
details about Floods request for cov-
erage and the hiring of the Schnader
firm.
HARRISBURG
Shale response bill signed
Gov. Tom Corbett on Thursday
signed into law a bill to improve emer-
gency management and response at
Marcellus Shale natural gas wells.
The new law, sponsored in the state
Senate by Lisa Baker,
R-Lehman Township, to
plan for accidents and
share emergency plans
with local emergency
responders. It also re-
quires drillers to inform
state and local officials
of well-pad locations and access roads.
Any first responder will tell you
that the best weapon against injury,
environmental damage, property de-
struction, and death is not the most
state-of-the art fire truck, radio, or
protective gear it is information,

being blurred, according to lo-
cal religious leaders and profes-
sors.
The two-page resolution,
adopted last week by a 193-0
vote, designated 2012 as The
Year of the Bible in Pennsylva-
nia.
Sponsored by Rep. Rick Sac-
cone, R-Allegheny County, the
non-controversial resolution
ends with in recognition of
both the formative influence of
the Bible on our common-
wealth and nation and our na-
tional need to study and apply
the teachings of the Holy Scrip-
tures.
All over the Pennsylvania
Capitol, one can easily see the
tremendous influence that
Christianity and the Bible have
hadover our founders andpred-
ecessors. These images and
quotes illustrating the beliefs
and morals that have shaped
our great commonwealth must
never be forgotten, Saccone
said.
TheRev. Daniel Gunn, leader
of St. Stephens Episcopal
ChurchinWilkes-Barre, saidhe
disagrees with the House reso-
lution and feels government
should refrain from religious
proclamations.
Theres a reason we have
separationof churchandstate,
Gunn said. I do not deal with
legislative issues fromthe pulp-
it, and I dont think the legisla-
ture should be dealing too
much with religious issues,
Gunn said.
Jonathan Malesic, an associ-
ate professor of theology at
Kings College who is a staunch
supporter of the separation of
church and state, said the reso-
lution flies in the face of Penn-
sylvanias history.
He noted the states initial
Europeansettlers, the Quakers,
didnt want toinstituteaQuak-
er theocracy. They wanted reli-
gious freedom. Pennsylvania
was thereligiouslyfreecolony.
Toseesomethinglikethis in
Pennsylvania, considering our
current religious diversity and
our history of religious diversi-
ty, contradicts the Quakers in-
tent.

Nine Luzerne County workers and re-
tirees have accepted nominations for
one unpaid seat on the county Retire-
ment Board that oversees the employee
pension fund.
Employees and retirees had to receive
at least two nominations from vested
pension members and agree to run for
their name to appear on the ballot.
The five employee nominees are: Law-
rence DeFluri, assessors office field in-
vestigator; John Evanchick Jr., sheriff
deputy; county Controller Walter Grif-
fith; Robin Muth, office on aging fiscal
officer; and Eugene Shinal, a prison K-9
sergeant.
Four retirees were
nominated: Clifton
Madrack, former
Moon Lake Park direc-
tor; Keith Perluke, a
past Workforce Invest-
ment Development
Agency employee; Da-
vid Roberts, formerly a
prothonotarys office
worker; and Basil Rus-
sin, past chief public
defender.
Employee Rick Hummer said he also
received multiple nominations but de-
clined because it would be a conflict of
interest to serve while working as coun-
ty pension coordinator.
A pension fund representative was
added to the board under the newhome
rule charter in response to past com-
plaints that plan participants should
have a voice. The county manager, bud-
get/finance director, council chairper-
son and a council member also serve on
the board.
Councilman Eugene Kelleher was se-
lected as the council representative, and
council Chairman Jim Bobeck said he
will designateacouncil member toserve
in his place.
Griffith served on the retirement
board under the previous government
structure along with the three commis-
sioners and the treasurer.
More than 3,000 current and past em-
ployees are eligible to vote for the retire-
ment system representative, Hummer
said.
Voting will occur from 9 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Feb. 15.
County electronic voting machines
will be set up in the pension coordina-
tors office at the countys Penn Place
building in downtown Wilkes-Barre and
probably also in the county courthouse,
Hummer said.
Absentee ballots will be available and
must be counted at the conclusion of the
election, according to the council-ap-
proved procedure.
Hummer said the restructured board
will meet for the first time at the end of
the month to approve retirements and
receive a status report on the pension
fund.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney was
hired in November to oversee the fund
for another three years.
The fund was valued at $191million at
that time.

project was halted three
months after construction

The company filed suit
against the Redevelopment
Authority in 2006 and was
awarded $4.3 million. It was
never able to collect on the
debt, however, because the
authority did not have the
ability to pay the judgment.
Newcrete then filed a law-
suit against the city in June
2011 to recover the money,
arguing the city was respon-
sible to pay the debt because
it had nearly absolute con-
trol over the authority and
had acted as its alter ego.
A Luzerne County judge
dismissed the complaint in
January 2011, finding that
the authority and city were
separate legal entities,
therefore the city could not
be held responsible for the
authoritys debt.
The Commonwealth
Court on Thursday upheld
the ruling, finding that it
made no difference how
much control the city exert-
ed over the authority. The
city had no ownership inter-
est in the authority, there-
fore it could not be held re-
sponsible for its debts.
Newcrete attorney John
Doran of Wilkes-Barre failed
to respond to a request
Thursday for comment.

NANTICOKE Police in Nanticoke
and Newport Township say John Cher-
nowsky had a simple test.
Ring a doorbell to determine if any-
one was home.
If someone opened the door, author-
ities allege, Chernowsky asked if they
had lost a cat.
If the doorbell went unanswered,
Chernowsky walked to a rear door, al-
legedly using a credit card to force it
open.
Police say Chernowsky was target-
ing homes on Vista Drive in Newport
Township and on East Washington
Street in Nanticoke on Jan. 26.
Chernowsky, 27, of East Union
Street, Nanticoke, was arraigned
Wednesday night by
District Judge Do-
nald Whittaker in
Nanticoke on two
counts each of crimi-
nal attempt to com-
mit burglary and
criminal attempt to
commit mischief,
and one count each of burglary, crimi-
nal trespass andtheft. Townshippolice
arrested Chernowsky last week on
charges he burglarized a house on Vis-
ta Drive.
Chernowsky remains jailed at the
Luzerne County Correctional Facility
for lack of $100,000 bail.
According to the criminal com-
plaints:
Township police responded to a bur-
glary at a house on Vista Drive on Jan.
26, when a woman claimed someone
forced their way inside a rear door and
stole items.
While investigating the burglary, po-
lice learned a man, identified by police
as Chernowsky, tried to force open a
rear door to another house on Vista
Drive after ringing a doorbell.
A woman inside the second house
did not answer and encountered Cher-
nowsky at her rear door, the com-
plaints say.
Nanticoke police said that less than
two hours after the incidents in New-
port Township, Chernowsky rang a
doorbell at a house on East Washing-
ton Street. Chernowsky asked the man
who answered if hed lost a cat.
Chernowskyleft the house andwalk-
ed to another residence on East Wash-
ington Street, where he ran away after
a burglar alarmwas activated, the com-
plaints say.
Nanticoke police allege Chernowsky
on Aug. 16 burglarized a house on East
Washington Street he believed was un-
occupied. A homeowner confronted
Chernowsky in a bedroom going
through a jewelry box.
Preliminary hearings are scheduled
on Feb. 8 before Whittaker.
Man charged in burglary had clever system, cops say
John Chernowsky is jailed on
$100,000 bail in Nanticoke,

At the White House, Carney defended
the decision, saying it was the best policy
to promote the health of women, and the
president has no intention of trespassing
on religious liberty.
There was extensive and careful con-
sideration as this policy was developed
and a decision was made. And the issue
here is we want to be sure women, all
women, have access to good health care,
Carney said.
I think this man-
date violates our
Constitution. I
think it violates
the rights of
these religious organizations.
And I would hope that the ad-
ministration would back up
and take another look at this.
John Boehner
Speaker of the House
WASHINGTON On the defensive,
the White House scrambled Thursday to
explain its requirement that church-affil-
iated employers cover birth control after
House Speaker JohnBoehner calledit un-
constitutional and demanded immediate
reconsideration.
Under President Barack Obamas
healthcare overhaul law, most employers
and insurance plans will have to cover
birth control free of charge as a preven-
tive service for women. The administra-
tion had already ruled that churches and
houses of worship do not have to follow
that requirement, but officials recently
announced that many religious-affiliated
institutions such as hospitals, colleges
and charities must comply.
The wave of protest that followed has
clearly taken administration officials by
surprise. Catholic and Protestant evan-
gelical leaders criticized the decision as
infringing on freedom of religion. Some
religious liberals called it politically risky
for Obama in a close election year.
I think this mandate violates our Con-
stitution, Boehner, R-Ohio, said Thurs-
day. I think it violates the rights of these
religious organizations. And I would
hope that the administration would back
up and take another look at this. Boehn-
er is Catholic.
White House spokesman Jay Carney
said the decision will stand.
Thats unlikely to silence critics. Also
joiningindisapproval was a groupthat in-
cludes Democratic lawmakers who
helped engineer final passage of the
health care law. The group Democrats
for Life of America represents anti-abor-
tion lawmakers who provided the margin
of victory for passage of the health care
overhaul.
Forcing religious institutions to pro-
vide insurance coverage for services that
are directly in opposition to their moral
beliefs is very clearly wrong, said Kris-
ten Day, the groups executive director.
Birth control rule draws attacks
The health reform laws mandate on
church-related employers provides
fodder for President Obamas critics.

JERUSALEM
Official: Iran aiming at U.S.
A
n Israeli government minister said
Thursday that Iran is developing a
missile that could strike targets more
than 6,000 miles away and thus would
be capable of reaching the East Coast
of the United States.
Minister for Strategic Affairs Moshe
Yaalon said the missile project was
aimed at America, not us and should
heighten U.S. concerns about Irans
nuclear project.
Israel has been lobbying hard for
even tougher economic sanctions on
Iran.
Yaalon said only the threat of a puni-
shing military strike would compel the
Iranian regime to abandon its nuclear
ambitions.
FORT HOOD, TEXAS
Rampage trial delayed
The Army psychiatrist accused of
killing 13 people during the Fort Hood
shooting rampage will go on trial in
June, a military judge ruled Thursday
after agreeing to a three-month delay.
Attorneys for Maj. Nidal Hasan ar-
gued during a hearing at the Army post
in Texas that they still lacked key evi-
dence needed to prepare for the March
trial. Prosecutors insisted defense
lawyers didnt need more time, saying
one defense expert was hired nearly
two years ago and that he alone has
already racked up about $250,000 in
fees billed to the government.
The defense had asked for a July
trial, but the judge settled for June 12.
The trial is expected to last about two
months.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of
premeditated murder and 32 counts of
attempted premeditated murder for the
November 2009 attack at the sprawling
Army post, which is about 130 miles
southwest of Dallas. If convicted, he
faces the death penalty. Hasan, who
was arraigned in July, has not yet en-
tered a plea.
MONTARA, CALIF.
Wants stunning probed
A California congresswoman wants
an independent investigator to deter-
mine whether a federal park ranger
used excessive force when she fired a
stun gun on a man walking his dogs.
Gary Hesterberg, 50, was stunned
with a Taser electric-shock device
when he was walking two small dogs
off-leash in violation of rules at the
Golden Gate National Recreational
Area, park officials have said.
In a letter Wednesday to the park
Superintendent Frank Dean, Rep. Jack-
ie Speier said the rangers use of the
stun gun appears to be unwarranted.
BELGRADE, SERBIA
11,000 trapped by snow
At least 11,000 villagers have been
trapped by heavy snow and blizzards in
Serbias mountains, authorities said
Thursday, as the death toll from East-
ern Europes weeklong deep freeze rose
to 123, many of them homeless people.
The harshest winter in decades has
seen temperatures in some regions
dropping to minus 22 F and below, and
has caused power outages, traffic chaos
and the widespread closure of schools,
nurseries and airports.
The stranded in Serbia are stuck in
some 6,500 homes in remote areas that
cannot be reached due to icy, snow-
clogged roads with banks reaching up
to 16 feet.
Emergency crews were pressing hard
to try to clear the snow to deliver badly
needed supplies, and helicopters were
dispatched to some particularly remote
areas in Serbia and neighboring Bos-
nia.

LAS VEGAS Donald
Trump on Thursday an-
nounced his endorsement of
Mitt Romney for president,
saying the former Massachu-
setts governor is not going to
allow bad things to
continue to happen to
this country we all
love.
The reality show
host and real estate
mogul appeared with
Romney and his wife,
Ann, at a packed news
conference at the Las Vegas ho-
tel that bears Trumps name.
Romney said he was honor-
ed to receive the endorsement,
but hoped even more to win
the endorsement of Nevada
voters. The state holds presi-
dential caucuses Saturday.
Newt Gingrichs camp had
been so confident of winning
the real estate moguls backing
that it had leaked word Trump
would support the former
House speaker.
Speaking with reporters be-
fore the announcement,
Trump said he had sev-
eral meetings with
Romney during the
past several months
and that those meet-
ings helped influence
his decision about an
endorsement.
He also cited Rom-
neys debate performances and
tough stance on China as rea-
sons.
Trump, who publicly had ex-
pressed less-than-enthusiastic
support for Romney, said his
past comments were a reflec-
tion of not knowing the former
Massachusetts governor very
well.
I never knew him. I knew of
him and respected him, but I
really got to knowhimover the
past few months, Trump said.
Gingrichs camp was so con-
fident of Trumps endorsement
that those close to the former
House speaker confirmed it
Wednesday night for news or-
ganizations, including the AP.
Meanwhile, voter turnout
numbers are pointing to a po-
tential enthusiasm deficit for
Romney.
In the four states to vote so
far in the GOP nominating
race, turnout has been stron-
gest where people were ener-
gized to vote for somebody
else.
In Florida, where Romney
took 46 percent of the vote,
overall turnout was down sig-
nificantly from four years ago.

LOS ANGELES A Los An-
geles teacher suspected of taking
bizarre bondage-style photo-
graphs of childreninhis class was
investigated in 1994 for allegedly
trying to fondle a10-year-old girl,
authorities said Thursday.
The incident allegedly oc-
curred in September 1993 but
wasnt reported by the girls
mother to offi-
cials at Mira-
monte Elemen-
tary School un-
til the following
January, said
sheriffs Sgt.
Dan Scott. The
girl claimed
that Mark
Berndt, 61, reached toward her
genitals during class but she
pushed his hand away, Scott said.
The school notified the Sher-
iffs Department, which investi-
gated Berndt, who denied the ac-
cusation, and sent the case to the
Los Angeles County district at-
torneys office, which declined to
file charges.
A phone message left for a dis-
trict attorney spokeswoman was
not immediately returned.
Berndt remained jailed on $23
million bail after his first court
appearance Wednesday on felony
charges that he committed lewd
acts on23boys andgirls, ages 6to
10, between 2005 and 2010. He
could face multiple life sentences
if convicted.
Angry parents confronted
school officials Wednesday, de-
manding to know why they we-
rent told for a year that Berndt,
who taught at Miramonte for
more than 30 years, was suspect-
ed of photographing children in
class for sexual thrills.
Berndt was removed from
classwork in January 2011 and
fired within the month, but only
parents of children identified as
victims were told by authorities
at that time of the investigation.

CAIROThousands of angry sports
fans besieged the Egyptian Interior
Ministry on Thursday to avenge 74
deaths in riots over a soccer match the
previous night, as political forces seized
on the tragedy to renew demands for
the ouster of the military-appointed in-
terim government.
As Egypt declared three days of
mourning for the victims of the riots,
many of the countrys senior political
figures issued a joint statement saying
that the mayhem that erupted Wednes-
day night after the popular al-Ahly
teams loss to a rival squad was the re-
sult of official negligence.
Tearful soccer fans and their sympa-
thizers tore down part of a security bar-
rier outside the Interior Ministry and
lobbed rocks at riot police in clashes
that continued well into the night. Au-
thorities responded with volleys of tear
gas inscenes reminiscent of heavy fight-
ing in November. By late evening, the
Health Ministry said, more than 100
people were wounded.
We either die like themor we avenge
them! the protesters chanted as they
tore through barbed wire and concrete
blocks sealing off the ministry in down-
town Cairo.

and
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words wont bring you back
We know because weve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because weve cried
Youve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But weve never wanted memories
We only wanted you
Teres not a moment in a day,
you are not sadly missed!

WASHINGTON Roseanne
Barr said Thursday shes running
for the Green Partys presidential
nomination and its no joke.
The actress-comedian said in a
statement that shes a longtime
supporter of the party and looks
forward to working with people
who share her values. She said
the two major parties arent serv-
ing the American people.
The Democrats and Republi-
cans have proven that they are
servants -- bought and paid for by
the1percent -- who are not doing
whats in the best interest of the
American people, Barr said.
Occupy Wall Street protesters
popularized the We are the 99
percent slogan in their fight
against economic disparity and
perceived corporate greed.
Barr has submitted paperwork
to the Green Party for her candi-
dacy. The partys presidential
nominee will be selectedat a con-
vention in Baltimore in July.
Barr said she has been fighting
for working-class families and
women for decades.
I will barnstormAmericanliv-
ing rooms, she said in a candi-
date questionnaire submitted to
the Green Party. Mainstream
media will be unable to ignore
me, but more importantly they
will be unable to overlook the
needs of average Americans in
the run-up to the 2012 election.
Barrs hit TV sitcom Ro-
seanne aired from 1988 to 1997
and earned her an Emmy and a
Golden Globe.

nization is concerned.
As a health care provider to
33,000 women in our 19-county
region, Planned Parenthood is a
trusted leader in helping women
identify breast cancer early.
Women are deeply alarmed that
the Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Foundation appears to have suc-
cumbedtopolitical pressurefrom
a vocal minority, said Kim Cus-
ter, president and chief executive
officer.
Custer said she is concerned
about the troublingprecedent of
putting politics before womens
health. In this community; our
breast health programs provided
annual and breast exams to more
than 24,000 women last year.
Custer said quality, accessibili-
tyandaffordabilitymakePlanned
Parenthood a leader in identify-
ing breast cancer early when
there is the best chance of suc-
cessful treatment.
Planned Parenthood has been
heartened by an outpouring of
support in response to the cutoff.
Inadditionto$400,000insmaller
donations from6,000 people, it is
receiving $250,000 from a family
foundation in Dallas, Texas and a
$250,000 pledge announced
ThursdaybyNewYorkMayor Mi-
chael Bloomberg to match future
donations.
In Washington, 26 U.S. sen-
ators all Democrats except for
independent Bernie Sanders of
Vermont signedaletter calling
on Komen to reconsider its deci-
sion.
It would be tragic if any wom-
anlet alonethousands of wom-
en lost access to these poten-
tially lifesaving screenings be-
causeof apoliticallymotivatedat-
tack, the senators wrote.
Komens top leaders, in their
first news conference since the
controversy erupted, denied
Planned Parenthoods assertion
that the decision was driven by
pressure from anti-abortion
groups.
Wedont baseourdecisionson
whether onesideor theother will
be pleased, said Komens foun-
der and CEO, Nancy Brinker.
Komen has said the decision
stemmedfromnewlyadoptedcri-
teria barring grants to organiza-
tions under investigation af-
fecting Planned Parenthood be-
cause of an inquiry by a Republi-
can congressman acting with
encouragement from anti-abor-
tion activists.
Brinker said Thursday there
were additional factors, notably
changes in the types of breast-
health service providers it want-
ed to support. However, she said
grants would continue this year
to three of the19 Planned Parent-
hood affiliates in Denver, Cali-
fornias Orange County, and Wa-
co, Texas because they served
clientele with few other breast-
screening options.
But, a source with direct
knowledge of decision-making at
Komens headquarters in Dallas
said the grant-making criteria
were adopted with the deliberate
intention of targeting Planned
Parenthood. According to the
source, who spoke on condition
of anonymity, a driving force be-
hindthemovewas KarenHandel,
whowashiredbyKomenlast year
as vice president for public policy
after losing a campaign for gover-
nor in Georgia in which she
stressed her anti-abortion views
and frequently denounced
Planned Parenthood.
Brinker, in an interview with
MSNBC, said Handel didnt have
a significant role in the policy
change.
The source also said that Mol-
lie Williams, who had been Ko-
mens director of community
health programs, had resigned in
protest over the grant cutoff.
Times Leader reporter Sheena
Delazio contributed to this story.

SCRANTON The state
Commonwealth Court has

The dispute centered on a

unions 30-day ad-
vance notice of a
premium increase
it implemented in
March 2009.
The unions fil-
ed a grievance be-
cause the city
failed to provide
the required no-
tice and had not
provided docu-
mentation that
proved the in-
creases were nec-
essary provi-
sions that were re-
quired under the contracts.
The arbitrator ruledinthe
unions favor and ordered
the city to refund the excess
premiumpayments to union
members andtodiscontinue
collecting the increased pay-
ments pending further re-
view by the arbitrator. The
decision was later upheld by
a Lackawanna County
judge, prompting the appeal
to the Commonwealth
Court.
Ryan McGowan, the citys
business administrator, said
Thursday he had not had a
chance to review the ruling
and did not immediately
know how much money the
citymight be requiredtopay
police and firefighters. Paul
Kelly, the citys solicitor, did
not return a phone message.
In its appeal to Common-
wealth Court, the city ar-
gued it was not required to
provide the 30-day notice
because it implemented the
increases in accordance
with the county court rul-
ing, which had dictated the
date.
Moreover, the city alleged
the arbitrator exceeded his
authority because he direct-
ed the city to refund excess
payments, even though the
union had not contested the
amount or necessity of the
premium increase. The sole
issue was that the unions
had not been provided the
30-day notice before it was
implemented.
Inits ruling, theCommon-
wealth Court agreed the
unions had not contested
the amount or necessity of
premium increases. Never-
theless, the court
said it was con-
strained to up-
hold the award
based on rules that
limit the scope of
its review.
While this
court empathizes
withthe citys posi-
tion and the per-
ceived inequities
of the 2010 award,
whether or not the
arbitrator misap-
plied (the) health
insurance section
(of the contracts)
is not reviewable,
the court wrote.
Though the decision fa-
vored his clients, Stephen
Holroyd, one of the attor-
neys representing the
unions, took issue with the
courts finding regarding the
nature of the dispute.
Holroyd said the unions
did not agree the premium
increases were justified, as
the court held. They had not
takena stance onthe matter,
he said, because they were
not provided documents
as the contract required -
that would allow them ana-
lyze the increases to see if
they were truly necessary.
It was disingenuous of
the court to make that com-
ment, Holroyd said. The is-
sue before the arbitrator was
the city did not comply with
its obligation to give us doc-
uments so that we could see
if the figures were correct.

Scranton upheld

refund health insurance

LAKE TWP. State police at
Wyoming charged a township man
they allege burglarized neighbors
houses on Lehman Outlet Road, in-
cluding the same residence twice in
less than a week.
Jody Higgins, of Lehman Outlet
Road, was arraigned Thursday by
District Judge James Tupper in King-
ston Township on four counts each
of burglary, criminal trespass, theft
and receiving stolen property. After
he was arraigned, Higgins waived his
right to a prelimina-
ry hearing, sending
the charges to Lu-
zerne County
Court.
Higgins has been
jailed at the county
prison since his ar-
rest on Dec. 9 on
charges he stole
items from a barn on Lehman Outlet
Road. Tupper set bail on the latest
charges at $20,000.
According to the criminal com-
plaints:
State police allege Higgins burglar-
ized a house, stealing three guns and
tools from Oct. 21 to Oct. 23, hiding
the guns in woods near the resi-
dence.
Higgins allegedly returned to the
same house on Oct. 24, taking tools
and copper wire.
The next day on Oct. 25, state
police say, Higgins went to another
house on Lehman Outlet Road tak-
ing a chainsaw, tools, vehicle keys
and a bag. The homeowner later
found some of the stolen items along
a dirt road, the complaints say.
State police said Higgins burglar-
ized a third house on Lehman Outlet
Road sometime between Oct. 20 and
Oct. 25, stealing a chainsaw, cordless
drills and a grinder.
Higgins was arrested on Dec. 9 in
connection with a burglary at a barn
on Lehman Outlet Road on Nov. 11.
While taking Higgins to a court
proceeding on Dec. 15, state police
allege he admitted to burglarizing
the houses by opening unlocked
doors, according to the criminal
complaints.
Higgins is scheduled to be formal-
ly arraigned in county court on April
5 on the latest charges.

NEW YORK The private
student lender Sallie Mae said
it is changing how it handles a
fee charged to struggling bor-
rowers who seek to temporarily
suspend payments.
Sallie Mae isnt canceling the
$50 fee, but said it will now
apply the money toward the
borrowers loan balance once
on-time payments are resumed
for six months in a row.
The change came after an on-
line petition asking the compa-
ny to drop the fee collected
more than 77,000 signatures.
Borrowers who are unem-
ployed or suffering economic
hardship can apply to tempo-
rarily suspend payments on
both private and federal student
loans.
The idea is to keep their cred-
it history in good standing, al-
though the loans still accrue in-
terest.
Sallie Mae will credit $50 payment-suspend fee to balance

KINGSTONTWP. Fire heavi-
ly damaged a house on Summit
Street on Thursday night and
chased a father and his twin sons
from the burning building.
Dr. Frank Yanik was feeding
the boys in a front room of the
house when he heard what
sounded like a bell ringing in the
rear, said his father, Glenn Yanik
of Dallas.
His son went to the back door,
found the porch on fire and gath-
ered up the boys, taking them
outside to safety.
Then it went through the
house, saidYanikof thefireas he
stood under an evergreen tree
watching firefighters wet down
the smoldering structure.
His sons wife, Jess, was not
home at the time, he added.
Firefighters from Back Moun-
tain communities responded to
the alarmsounded shortly after 7
p.m. after several neighbors
called Luzerne County 911.
Dave Stokes was one of them.
He said he was walking his dog
andsmelledwhat he thought was
plastic burning. As he got closer
to the Yanik house he could see
flames and smoke.
I thought maybe his grill was
on fire, said Stokes.
He saw Yanik and his children
coming out of the home of Ted
Rebennack.
Rebennack wet down the side
of his house facing Yaniks with a
garden hose, but the intensity of
the heat melted the siding.
He saidhe offeredtodothe dis-
hes for his wife who has a bad
back and when she went to lie
down she saw the house next
door blazing.
The flames were just licking
out of the backof the house, said
Rebennack.
Firefighters focused their ef-
forts on the rear of the house as
the wind fed several flare-ups.
The cause of the fire is under
investigation.

Give board applicants
some accommodation
I
t is my hope the newly elected Luzerne
County Council does not hastily appoint
residents who do not qualify for posi-
tions on boards, authorities and commis-
sions.
I also hope other residents are given
time and concern to apply and adjust
schedules for interviews. Do not use this
process to discourage or limit interested
applicants.
When I requested an alternate date and
time to accommodate my work schedule, I
received notice that it was the only time
available.
Only one meeting time was set to in-
terview candidates for appointments to the
Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Com-
mission. More courtesy was given to the
county manager candidates in regard to
confidentiality and interview times.
Luzerne County is one of the poorest
counties in the nation. Many people work
two or three jobs. Please accommodate
interested citizens who strive to live here,
to volunteer during times of disaster, vol-
unteer to improve the quality of life and
work to make Luzerne County better.

Cameras can discourage
runners of red lights
E
ach year, hundreds of people are need-
lessly killed and thousands more in-
jured by red light runners. Too often,
these motorists reckless disregard for a
simple law goes unpunished, allowing the
offenders to break more laws and put more
lives at risk.
We know firsthand the pain of losing a
loved one to such a preventable act. On
Jan. 26, we remembered the 10-year anni-
versary of our daughter Sarahs death at
the hands of a red light runner.
She was only 31 when she died a tal-
ented high school science teacher with two
beautiful children and a bright future
ahead of her. That all ended in a split sec-
ond.
Crashes such as this happen every day,
but they dont need to. Traffic safety cam-
eras provide consistent, efficient enforce-
ment of our traffic safety laws, deterring
red light running and preventing tragedies.
Red light running claimed nearly 700 lives
in 2009. That number is completely pre-
ventable.

WELCOME TO Black
History Month.
The idea originated with
historian Carter G. Wood-
son, best remembered for
having published The
Mis-Education of the Ne-
gro in 1933. In it, Woodson argued, The
so-called modern education does others so
much more good than it does the Negro,
because it has been worked out in conform-
ity with the needs of those who have op-
pressed weaker people.
Woodson initiated a Negro History
Week each February, which in 1976 official-
ly became Black History Month.
Woodson chose this month because it
includes the birthdays of both Abraham
Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. By cele-
brating black history, Woodson believed we
would move closer to our nations motto of
E Pluribus Unum.
Were getting there, but were not there
yet.
A few months ago I was on a cross-coun-
try train ride. I was seated in the observa-
tion car alongside several college freshmen.
It was a multiracial group, and all the young
people were excited by school and the latest
fads, music and television shows. One
among the gaggle was a young black wom-
an.
When the train briefly stopped in Harpers
Ferry, W.Va., I rushed to the window be-
cause I had to catch a glimpse of the histor-
ic site. So did the African-American college
freshman. But her friends were less than
wowed.
This is Harpers Ferry, she explained.
You know, where John Brown ... The raid.
Her friends wore blank expressions.
Youre kidding, she finally said with a
sigh.
Ignorant of a moment in history they had
never been taught or which they had cov-
ered cursorily and then forgotten the oth-
ers could only shrug.
These young people were united in many
ways, but they had not inherited a common
history.
Woodson would not have been happy.
In his vision, the students would all have
a modicum of knowledge of the American
Revolution, the Constitutional Convention,
Presidents Washington and Lincoln, Gens.
Grant and Lee, Thomas Edison, World Wars
I and II. But they also would share in equal
parts knowledge of the Middle Passage, the
stories of Olaudah Equiano, Benjamin Ban-
neker, Sojourner Truth, John Brown, Recon-
struction, the Buffalo Soldiers, James Wel-
don Johnson, the Great Migration, Emmett
Till and the many heroes of the struggle for
civil rights who preceded Martin Luther
King.
Yes, today, we have a president who is a
black American, and de jure segregation is a
thing of the past. But we dont yet have a
shared history of who we are as a nation.
Thats why Black History Month is so im-
portant.
Many public libraries will post a Black
History Month reading list. Please make use
of the recommended titles. Many schools
will offer special programs or assemblies.
Please encourage your children or grand-
children to attend.
Black History Month is intended to escort
us toward an honorable goal. Lets reach it
together.

W E L L I N G T O N
Yes, today, we have a president who is a
black American, and de jure segregation is
a thing of the past. But we dont yet have a
shared history of who we are as a nation.
P
RESIDENT Obamas
public acknowledg-
ment of the CIAs se-
cret drone campaign in
Pakistan puts new pressure on
the administration to defend
the policy openly. Thats a wel-
come development.
The president should nowbe
equally forthcoming about the
rationale for the targeted kill-
ings of American citizens.
In an interviewconducted by
Google and YouTube on Mon-
day, Obama defended the use of
drones as judicious andadded
that obviously a lot of these
strikes have been in the FATA,
Pakistans federally adminis-
tered tribal areas.
Both the fact of the strikes
and their general location have
been open secrets for some
time. Nowthat Obamahas been
candid about the drone strate-
gy, he owes the nation a further
explanation about one of its
most worrisome manifesta-
tions: the killing of Americanci-
tizens without due process.
Last year in Yemen a drone
killed Anwar Awlaki, a native of
NewMexico and a key figure in
al-QaidaintheArabianPeninsu-
la. So far the administration has
not laid out a convincing legal
rationale for the assassination.
Reportedly Attorney General
Eric H. Holder Jr. will publicly
address the legality of targeting
Americans in the next several
weeks. He needs to be specific
about that question and about
the criteria used in the Awlaki
case.
If Obama is willing to be
more candid, somust the rest of
his administration.

OTHER OPINION: U.S. POLICY
Expand dialogue
on drone strikes
Y
OU DONT NEED a
tuxedo or a gown. You
dont need to boast an
encyclopedic knowl-
edge of long-dead composers
Beethoven and Brahms, or
even be a devotee of classical
music. The only things re-
quired for you to truly appre-
ciate an evening with the
Northeastern Pennsylvania
Philharmonic are these: two
ears and a ticket.
And at prices starting at $28
for next Fridays pops perform-
ance in Wilkes-Barre called
Broadway Love Songs, why
not try it?
Now marking its 40th sea-
son, the regions philharmonic
still soars and soothes. At vari-
ous times and tempos, this of-
ten-underappreciated treasure
also still engages, experi-
ments, educates and inspires.
And, yes, it still depends on
ample support from residents
of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Classical music aficionados
from Wilkes-Barre and Scran-
ton, cities which decades ago
each had a separate orchestra,
hatched a plan around 1969 to
spawn some harmony: start
one, first-rate philharmonic. A
committee formed. In March
1972, its members hiredPolish-
born maestro Thomas Micha-
lak, formerly of the Pittsburgh
Symphony.
Months later, however, the
Agnes flood almost wiped
away Wilkes-Barre and, withit,
any hopes for a startup philhar-
monic. But savvy Scrantonto-
nians on the committee said
they would shoulder most of
the duties for that first year.
Thanks to them, the philhar-
monic was able to take to the
Irem Temple stage here in Oc-
tober 1972.
Today, the musicians typi-
cally alternate between cities,
often offering a performance
on Friday night in one location
and in the sister city on Satur-
day night. This season, as usu-
al, concert-goers can pick from
the philharmonics pops se-
ries (featuring the tunes of
George Gershwin, inApril, and
Benny Goodman, in June) or
its masterworks series (with
works by Beethoven, in March,
and Brahms, in April). Or hear
them all.
Music Director Lawrence
Loh guides each performance
with equal parts genius and
gusto. He, concertmaster Erica
Kiesewetter and all of the phil-
harmonics artists are deserv-
ing of continued community
backing.
Duringits 40thseason, show
the Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia Philharmonic your appre-
ciation with a generous dona-
tion or with your attendance
and your applause.
May its music, and its im-
pact on this region, never
cease.

Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca,
was one of the 193 who voted in
favor but said not too much
should be read into the docu-
ment.
Its a resolution, its meaning-
less.
He said that when the resolu-
tion was circulated, some Demo-
crats scratched their head. But
when it came time to vote, it re-
ceivedayes votefromeveryDem-
ocrat and Republican present.
Whilewewerent thrilledwith
it, no Democrat wanted to vote
no, Carroll said. Who wants to
be the one to vote against the Bi-
ble?
Religious bullying
Justin Vacula, a co-organizer of
the Northeast Pennsylvania Free
Thought Society and a self-pro-
claimed atheist, said, Its a
shame there had to be this sort of
religious bullying.
Keystone College political sci-
ence professor Jeff Brauer said
the resolution is controversial on
many levels, including froma po-
litical view.
Many will simply be upset
that the legislature is spending
time and taxpayer dollars on
passing such ceremonial/sym-
bolic resolutions instead of ac-
tually spending time on address-
ing those great challenges inreal,
meaningful, tangible ways,
Brauer said.
Carroll said that while he
agrees there are better things the
legislature could be spending
time on, he wasnt as taken aback
because it took 10 seconds and
cost an inconsequential amount
of money on printing costs.
No area House members
signed on as cosponsors but the
representative who introduced
the resolution issued a statement
spelling out why he authored the
document.
Malesic, who penned a book
called Secret Faith in the Public
Square, said he was disappoint-
ed some Christians are playing
politics with religion.
After reading the resolution,
Gunn said, This is worded with
such Christian bias that it might
even be offensive to our Jewish
brothers and sisters. But it is cer-
tainly offensive to other faiths.
He also questioned whether the
legislature would soon be declar-
ing a year of the Bhagavad Gita
or a year of the Koran, mention-
ing the holy books of the Hindu
and Islamreligions.
KyleKreider, apolitical science
professor at Wilkes University,
said, speakingas a Christianand
apolitical scientist, I thinkits dis-
respectful to other religions.
He added that the resolution
sends the wrong signal. Why is
the government even getting in-
volved in a religious debate?
The resolution has drawn the
ire of both the Philadelphia Daily
News and Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zetteeditorial boards, whichtook
the resolution to task.
Sosar: No problem
But not everyone took issue.
Dave Sosar, a political science
professor at Kings College, said
I dont see a problemwith it.
Healsosaidthat thepoliticians
see this as a no-lose issue.
Theres going to be people out
there who are going to have a lot
of trouble with that, he said, but
addedthat groupis not enoughto
sway an election.

When the hirings became public, the
three Leighton relatives resigned their
positions. The city had hired his other
children for similar jobs in the past. It
was later learned that Leightons son
and two daughters were hired beginning
in 2004, and they were paid a total of
more than $24,000 over the years.
The letter from the commission
states:
A review of the foregoing facts
leads tothe conclusionthat noinvestiga-
tion may be initiated into these activ-
ities.
I respect the decision, Leighton
said. Ive worked hard for the city over
the last eight years and I will continue to
work hard in my third term.
He was elected to a third term in No-
vember.
Frank Sorick, who lost his bid for the
Republican nomination for mayor last
year, said the Ethics Commission must
be joking to believe that all intern hir-
ings for the city of Wilkes-Barre with-
out input or direction from the mayor.
The mayor signed not one but 14 ex-
ecutive orders to hire his own children,
Sorick said. Those are facts, so I dont
see howanyone can say he had no invol-
vement when he signed the orders.
The commission cited a previous case
Kraines vSECtosupport its decision.
Specifically, in Kraines, the court de-
termined that there was no issue under
the Ethics Act where a county controller
engaged in ministerial activities approv-
ing the payments to her spouse to per-
form autopsies as a county Coroner.
The court said relatives of public offi-
cials are permitted to apply for govern-
ment positions.
In a 1991 case Frank Dodaro v Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania -- the state
Supreme Court overturned a Common-
wealth Court affirmation of an Ethics
Commission ruling that Dodaro pay
back summer wages earned by his son.
Dodaro was a voting member of the
board of directors of the Borough of Am-
bridge Water Authority.
The commission said no further ac-
tionwill be takeninthe Leightonmatter.
In the future it would be advisable to
obtain an advisory opinion from the
commissionprior toparticipatingor act-
ing inany matter that may be reviewable
under the provisions of the Ethics Act,
the letter concluded.

for the weekend.
Even though the mountain is
95 percent open, Verrastro said
its beena challenge to get skiers
amped up to go skiing when
theres no snow in their yards.
Mark Daubert, general manag-
er of Jack Frost/Big Boulder ski
areas in the Blakeslee-Lake Har-
mony area, said the twin ski re-
sorts have been100 percent open
for several weeks, thanks to up-
graded snowmaking capacity
and high elevation.
But he said its been a struggle
to convince customers condi-
tions are good.
One of the biggest frustra-
tions is just skier confidence; to
get the word out, he said. Its a
frustrating winter, but its part of
the game.
Daubert said attendance has
been somewhat down this year,
though its difficult to judge be-
cause last winter, with its ample
snowfall, was a banner year for lo-
cal ski resorts.
The warm winter has hurt
Mark Lewandowskis plowing
business harder.
Little plowing so far
Lewandowski, owner of A.M.
Plowing in Wilkes-Barre, said his
three plow trucks have been out
only one day this winter; in an av-
erage winter, hell plow on eight
days.
Lewandowski said hes hopeful
things will pick up, but so far he
hasnt earnedenoughtocover his
insurance costs.
Years ago, we had a good
storm in March, and even two
years ago (New) Jersey and
(Washington) D.C. got hit pretty
hard, so Im hopeful, he said. I
dont wish ill on anybody but if it
snows thats great for me. Theres
still hope left for this year.
But for others, the unseason-
ably warm weather has been a
boon.
Energy consumers, for one,
have benefited from lower heat-
ing costs.
Kurt Blumenau, spokesman
for PPL Electric Utilities, said
electricity consumption in Janu-
ary was 3.3 percent lower than
the 10-year average for the
month, and 6.6 percent below
last January. Peak demand in Ja-
nuary was also about 2 percent
below the 10-year average and 8
percent below last year.
About 30 percent of PPL cus-
tomers heat their homes with
electricity, Blumenau said, and
since commercial customers us-
age varies less by season, most of
that drop can be attributed to res-
idential users.
Whenwe have warmer weath-
er in the winter obviously theyll
be using less power to heat there
homes, which of course is good
for the homeowner, Blumenau
said.
Jennifer Warback, Emergency
Energy Services coordinator for
the Commission on Economic
Opportunity, said applications
for emergency heating assistance
have been down 25 to 30 percent
this winter. Requests for emer-
gency heating-system repair as-
sistance are also down.
Though the weather is one of
several factors affecting partici-
pation in the program, Warback
said its probably the main con-
tributor.
Obviously, if we start seeing
more winter-like temperatures
were going to see more need for
heating oil, and that could bring
an influx of people coming in to
apply for the grants, she said.
Taxpayers get break
Warmer temperatures andfew-
er snowstorms have also lead to
fewer salt trucks on the roads,
freeing up state and local road
workers to work on other pro-
jects.
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation District 4 spokes-
man James May said the weather
has allowed PennDOT crews to
do pothole-filling and guardrail-
repair work on highways when
they might otherwise be plowing
and salting, though he said Penn-
DOT is still presuming more
snow will come later in the win-
ter.
We are still working under the
assumption that by the end of the
winter we will have gotten the
same amount of snow, andthat in
theendits all goingtoequal out,
May said. Were not working un-
der the assumption that were go-
ingtohave a bunchof extra salt at
the end of the winter.
Wilkes-Barre city spokesman
Drew McLaughlin said the
weather allowed crews to per-
form some paving and filling
work later into December than
usual and has freed up workers to
perform other tasks, but that the
city doesnt anticipate large sav-
ing on road salt because it is obli-
gated by state mandate to pur-
chase a fixed amount of salt,
2,400 tons, regardless of need.
The big areas of savings cur-
rently have been in terms of over-
time and maintenance,
McLaughlin said. If your plow
trucks are not out there on the
roads you save money on mainte-
nance.
In the short term at least, the
trend is likely to continue.
The National Weather Service
at Binghamton, N.Y. predicts
high temperatures in the low40s
through the weekend.
But NWS meteorologist Dave
Nicosia warned that there may
still be surprises instore this win-
ter.
Marchcanoftenbringour big-
gest snowstorms, Nicosia said.
So winter isnt over just yet,
even though it does feel like
spring out there.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Jack Frost Big Boulder General Manager Mark Daubert said the
resorts biggest challenge in this unseasonably warm winter has
been convincing skiers that the resort has snow.
The kidnappings of foreigners living
or traveling overseas continues unabat-
ed, as it has for decades. While the prob-
ability of a person being kidnapping is
low, abductions do occur regularly, espe-
cially in high-risk nations like Somalia,
Pakistan, Mexico and Colombia.
Even those who are supremely aware
of the risks can disappear. In December
2006, Felix Batista, an American anti-
kidnapping expert and negotiator for
hostage releases, was kidnapped in Sal-
tillo, Mexico, and hasnt been heard
from since.
Just last Tuesday, armed tribesmen in
Yemen kidnapped six United Nations
workers: anIraqi, a Palestinian, a Colom-
bian, a German and two Yemenis. On
Jan. 20, kidnappers grabbed an Ameri-
can and held him for a week before re-
leasing him, perhaps after a ransomwas
paid.
U.S. troops have been tasked with res-
cues mostly in areas where American
forces were already stationed, like Af-
ghanistan, Iraq and around Somalia,
said Taryn Evans, an expert on kidnap-
pings at AKE, a risk mitigation company
outside London. As theyve gotten more
experienced, theyve gotten better.
In 2009, SEAL sharpshooters killed
three Somali pirates holding the Amer-
ican captain of the Maersk Alabama hos-
tage in a lifeboat. And late last month,
U.S. Navy SEALs parachuted into Soma-
lia under cover of night, then moved on
foot to where captors were holding an
American woman and a Danish man
who hadbeenkidnappedtogether inOc-
tober. The SEALs killed nine captors
and rescued the two hostages while suf-
fering no casualties themselves in the
Jan. 25 operation.
Their skill in carrying out such mis-
sions has been honed by Americas two
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Seth
Jones, a civilian adviser to the com-
mandinggeneral of the U.S. special oper-
ations forces in Afghanistan from 2009-
2011.
They have conducted so many oper-
ations in these areas, from hostage res-
cues to strike operations to capture-kill
missions. What it does is significantly
improves the competence of special op-
erations, Jones told The Associated
Press. He said commando missions are
now routine.
Though Navy SEAL Team 6 rescued
the American and the Dane, one Amer-
ican kidnapped in January in Somalia re-
mains behind. His captors told AP they
moved him after the SEAL raid, out of
fear the U.S. military could try another
rescue attempt.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wil-
liamBurns said this week the U.S. is ve-
ry concerned about the remaining hos-
tage and Washington is following the
case closely and taking it very seriously.
Its an essential obligation for any
government to do everything we can to
protect our citizens and thats exactly
what President Obama did when he or-
dered the successful hostage rescue in
Somalia, Burns said.
Rescues entail risk, but Hallums, who
was kidnapped by a gang in November
2004, is thankful theU.S. militarycarries
them out.
Without a rescue attempt, the former
contractor fromMemphis, Tenn., said: I
was going to be dead for sure.
Hallums captors were demanding$12
million for his release. His Saudi Arabia-
based employer offered $1 million.
Hallums noted a successful rescue re-
quires the work of many more people
thanthe commandoes who carry out the
raid. The FBI, CIAandNational Security
Agency all work to gather information,
data that is then turned over to military
intelligence, where an operations officer
devises a rescue plan.
Technology has improvedthe chances
of success. Aerial drones can monitor
guardactivity andprovide a layout of the
location. Watching a pattern of life al-
lows the military to make educated
guesses about the chances for success.
But even with that advantage, Evans
said no mission is guaranteed success.
The Somali captors could have shot and
killed the American and Danish hostag-
es duringlast weeks raidif theyhadseen
the SEALs coming, she said. Thats why
most people try to reach a negotiated
rescue a ransompayment instead.

PORT MORESBY, Papua New
Guinea Rescuers battling big
waves and strong winds have
pullednearly250people fromthe
sea off Papua New Guineas east
coast after a ferry sank.
More than 110 people re-
mained missing early today, Pa-
pua New Guinea time.
Crews in ships, planes and hel-
icopters continued to scour the
warm seas. Papua New Guineas
National Maritime Safety Au-
thority rescue coordinator Capt.
Nurur Rahman said he had not
given up hope of finding more
survivors, though the swell and
winds were rising and some vic-
tims may have been trapped in-
side the sunken ferry.
I do not presume them to be
dead yet, he told Australian
Broadcasting Corp.
Owners of MV Rabaul Queen,
Papua NewGuinea-based Rabaul
Shipping Company, said today
there had been 350 passengers
and 12 crew aboard the 22-year-
old Japanese-built ferry when it
went down Thursday morning
while traveling from Kimbe on
the island of New Britain to the
coastal city of Lae on the main is-
land.
A police official said most of
those aboard were students.
We are stunned and utterly
devastated by what has hap-
pened, managing director Peter
Sharp said in a statement.
The company said the cause of
the disaster remained unclear,
but National Weather Service
chief SamMaiha told Papua New
Guineas Post-Courier newspa-
per that shipping agencies had
been warned to keep ships
moored this week because of
strong winds.
An official at the scene told the
newspaper that the ferry cap-
sized in rough seas and sank four
hours later.
By nightfall Thursday, 246 sur-
vivors had been rescued by mer-
chant ships battling 16-foot
swells and 45 mph winds at the
disaster scene 50 miles east of
Lae and 10 miles from shore, the
Australian Maritime Safety Au-
thority said.
AMSA spokeswoman Carly
Lusk on Friday could not explain
why the new figure was eight
greater thanthe tallyof 238survi-
vors released by her agency late
Thursday.
Capt. Rahman said the sea
temperature was above 68 de-
grees Fahrenheit warm
enough for people to survive for
an extended period.
Because of the proximity of
the shore, ... I still have high
hopes to have many more survi-
vors, he said.
He said the ferry sank in 3,300-
foot deep water, making it diffi-
cult todetermine whether bodies
were trapped inside.

Official says most on board
the vessel off coast of Papua

Discussing his inaugural
recruitingclass at PennState, the
first name Bill OBrien men-
tioned was Larry Johnson.
The Nittany Lions and their
new head coach were forced to
scramble to hold together what
had once been
shaping up to
be one of the
nations top
classes.
I think it
went really well
as far as the
transition is
concerned, OBrien said. Ive
got to give a lot of credit to the
assistant coaches, especially Lar-
ry Johnson, who I asked to over-
see the (recruiting) transition pe-
riod here. As evidenced by (sign-
ing day), he did a great job of
keeping it rolling.
The first bit of salesmanship
for OBrien was with Johnson,
convincing the programs long-
time defensive line coach and top
recruiter to remainat PennState.
Johnson was the first member
of OBriens new staff and he was
tasked with leading a tumultu-
ous final month of recruiting in
the midst of the coaching
change.
Well, it has been an emotional
ride, theres no question about
that, Johnson said. I think a lot
of credit goes to the former staff.
They did a great job for two
months with not having a head
coach, having Tom Bradley as in-
terim head coach. They kept
recruiting on the road, which set
the foundation for where we are
today.
Then the new staff came in
and really hit the ground run-
ning. They were really trying to
get to knowthe kids, get to know
the families, and coach OBrien
came into town and just contin-
ued to sell what Penn State is all
about. I think thats the biggest
thing thats happened.
It was Johnson and fellow
holdover Ron Vanderlinden who
had to help catch the incoming
coaches up to speed on the
recruits who had already given
verbal commitments to the Li-
ons, as well as help develop a
plan going forward.
The effort was appreciated,
even for a veteran college coach
like Ted Roof, the teams new de-
fensive coordinator.
That was critical. Larry and
Ron both did an outstanding job
to continue the relationships that
had been formed and to hold on-
to so many of those kids that
were committed, Roof said.
They did a fantastic job and I
think that certainly had an im-
pact on a lot of the kids.
As the new staff now gets to
work on the 2013 class, much of
the clerical work will fall upon
Charles London, the new run-

PATRIOTS
The NFL season began on time largely
because of Robert Kraft and John Mara.
So theres no more fitting way to end it
than the two of them facing off for the
games biggest prize.
The owners of the New England Patri-
ots and New York Giants were instru-
mental in ending a long labor war that
threatened to cancel what turned out to
be, by nearly every measure, the NFLs
most successful season. Both men have
also held the Super Bowl trophy aloft;
Kraft three times andMara once, in2007,
at the expense of his fellow owner. But
the similarities between the two pretty
much begin and end there.
When Kraft begins a story, its liable to
end up anywhere. When Mara does, he
gets straight to the point.
Almost two decades after buying the
Patriots and transforming them into one
of the most successful franchises in any
sport, many of the things about the life of
an owner especially the celebrity
still seem fresh to the 70-year-old Kraft.
So when a reporter from London asks
about the growing popularity of his team
overseas, Kraft notes that Americas orig-
inal patriots were transplanted En-
glishmen, offers a fewsuggestions howto
widen the fan base over there and then
ends with this little gem: And one of my
favoritefriends, Sir EltonJohn, is veryex-
cited about us being back in the Super
Bowl.
For Mara, 57, a man of many fewer
words, the job seems second nature.
Small wonder. He was groomed for the
role since birth and inherited it when his
father, Wellington, diedin2005. The fam-
ilys roots stretch back to the founding of
the franchise in 1925, when his grandfa-
ther, Tim, a New York bookmaker,
plunked down somewhere between $500
and $2,500 and gambled on the viability
of the then-5-year-old NFL.
Im not necessarily happy to be play-

YATESVILLE Four consecu-
tive losses in the Wyoming Valley
Conference is enough to bring
any teams momentum to a halt.
Pittston Area didnt seemed to
be slowed down by it one bit
Thursday. The Patriots, held to
just 37 points in Tuesdays loss to
Crestwood, rekindled their pe-
rimeter game with a 73-56 victo-
ry over Dallas.
That was a
tough loss to
Crestwood,
Pittston Area
coach Al Kiesin-
ger said. And
we were coming
off four tough
losses in a row
two of them really close.
Today, we held together; we
shared the ball.
The Patriots Steve Stravinski,
a 6-foot-4 senior forward, pulled
down 22 rebounds and scored 15
points for a double-double.
Stravinski was a monster on
the boards, said Kiesinger.
Pittston Area held a six-point
lead at halftime and opened the
half on an 11-2 run.
The Patriots shot 15-for-20 (75
percent) in the second half. They
hit 8-of-16 three-pointers (50 per-
cent) for the game.
I think we were focused,
Kiesinger said. On the offensive
end, we made some shots that we
didnt make the other night,
shots that we didnt take the oth-
er night.
Dallas struggled off the glass
and faced difficulty battling Stra-
vinski for offensive and defensive
rebounds. In the first half, Pitt-
ston Area often found success
with second-chance points.
We got outhustled, Dallas
coach Doug Miller said. Thats
one of the big things we talked
about was defensively we have to
outhustle themevery possession.

thought we played well. Its a big
win in the division for us and
hopefully we cancontinue toplay
hard and build off of this.
After a building a two-point
leadat the endof the first quarter,
Holy Redeemer went ona 9-2 run
before Tunkhannock crept back
into the game from the free-
throw line to pull within four.
The Royals responded with
two quick baskets to take a 25-18
lead at the half. The majority of
the Tigers points came from the
line after a change in strategy
from the previous meeting kept
any of Tunkhannocks shooters
from finding any good openings.
I think the biggest change, de-
fensively, this time was going
with a man-to-man defense,
Parker said. The last time we
met, we played a lot of zone and I
think some of their shooters had
too much roomto roamaround.
The Tigers spent the third
quarter chipping away at Re-
deemers lead with a combo of
free throws and layups inside
fromcenter Lisa Kintner. The se-
nior scored seven of her team
high 22 points in the third quar-
ter, in which Tunkhannock again
did the bulk of its scoring from
the foul line.
While the Tigers continued to
score with the clock stopped,
Parker made it clear to his charg-
es not to play into the pace and to
keep attacking.
We had to stay in our game of-
fensively and not lose track of
what we wanted to do, Parker
said, which was to keep attack-
ing.
The Royals opened up the
fourth quarter with a 9-0 run and
closed out the final minutes with
a 12-3 spurt, both of which led by
the rebounding, passing and
scoring of forward Alexis Lewis
on a night when some of her
teammates found trouble scor-
ing.
Lewis tallied 13 of her game-
high 25 points in the fourth quar-
ter on a variety of jump shots,
drives into the lane and free
throws that Tunkhannock could
not keep up with, essentially ic-
ing the game for Redeemer. Le-
wis also added 10 rebounds and
five assists in the win.

Dallas Shane Dunn, the lead-
ing receiver in the Wyoming Val-
ley Conference this past season,
has decided to continue his foot-
ball andacademic careers at Divi-
sion II East Stroudsburg.
It was an incredible bounce-
back year for Dunn, who missed
significant time as a junior due to
a foot injury. The 6-foot-3, 195-
pounder led the entire WVC in
catches with 39 and TD recep-
tions withnine. His 567receiving
yards were the second most in
the conference. Dunn was also
one of Dallas top defensive play-
ers, but will play receiver at East
Stroudsburg.
Dunn was named to the WVC
Big School all-star team by the
WVC Coaches Association and
selectedtoTheTimes Leader All-
WVC first team. He is also a bas-
ketball standout and was named
to the WVC Division II all-stars

S P O R T S
For the first time in the 15-year
history of the District 2 Duals
Tournament, Coughlin is trying
to reach the championship
match.
The Crusaders (5-1 Division I,
11-2 overall) grabbed the Wyom-
ing Valley Conferences top seed
for the Class 3A event and only
has to win two meets today at
Pittston Area High School to get
tothat elusive triptothe finals. In
its quarterfinal meet, Coughlin
will face Scranton. If the team
beats the Knights ina matchupof
teams that have never advanced
to the district finals, it will see ei-
ther West Scranton or Pittston
Area in the semifinals. The Cru-
saders defeated both potential
opponents in the last seven days.
What makes those two victo-
ries more cherished is that the
Crusaders had to rebound froma
toughupset loss to Crestwoodon
Jan. 25 for their only divisional
setback of the season.
(The loss) took away our
sense of entitlement. Some kids
think youre entitled to win it,
Coughlin coach Steve Stahl said.
It shows you what Crestwood or
any other team could do by just
bringing 14 guys that want to
wrestle.
While the Crusaders are the
WVC top seed in Class 3A, Lake-
Lehman is the conferences No. 1
seed in 2Aand will be attempting
to tie Hazleton Area for the most
duals championships in D2 histo-
ry. The Black Knights, however,
have advanced to the champion-
ship match a district-record 10
times. They will get started to-
night against Scranton Prep as
the 2Aevent will be held at Lake-
Lehman for the first two rounds.
On Saturday, the two tourna-
ments will conclude simultane-
ously at Pittston Area for the fi-
nals at 7 p.m.
The two district champions
will advance to the PIAA Cham-
pionships on Thursday at Giant
Center in Hershey.
Heres a closer look at the eight
Wyoming Valley Conference
teams participating in the Dis-
trict 2 Duals Tournament:
CLASS 3A
WVC No. 1 Coughlin
Record: 5-1 Division I, 11-2
overall
Last appearance: 2011 (lost in
quarters to Honesdale)
Last championship: none
Possible Lineup: 106: Bobby
Hawkins, Fr.; 113: BillyPoray, So.;
120: Ed Ciprich, Jr.; 126: Brandon
Butry, Fr.; 132: Zach Hinkle, Fr.;
138: Frankie Mahmoud, Sr.; 145:
Dom Gulius, Sr.; 152: Nick Davi,
Jr.; 160: Troy Vannucchi, Sr.; 170:
Paul Cole, So.; 182: Joey Parsnik,
Sr.; 195: John Olson, Sr.; 220: Jor-
dan Phillips, Jr.; 285: Brad Emer-
ick, Jr.
Tournament Outlook: The
Crusaders are hitting stride at
the right time and are coming off
a huge win over Pittston Area.
They open with Scranton then
could have a rematch with Pitt-
ston Area in the semifinals.
WVC No. 2 Wyoming Valley
West
Record: 5-1 Division I, 10-4
overall
Last appearance: 2009 (lost in
semifinals to Pittston Area)
Last championship: 2001
Possible Lineup: 106: James
Wright, Fr.; 113: Alex Tirco, So.;
120: Travis Roper, So.; 126: Kyle
Krasavage, Jr.; 132: Nathan
Cheek, So.; 138: Derrick Simms,
Jr.; 145: Cody Cordes, Fr.; 152:
Nick Palkovic, Sr.; 160: Brian
Dwyer, Sr.; 170: Trey Cowman,
Jr.; 182: Alan Sakosky, Jr. or Tom
Smulowitz, Sr.; 195: Ian Moran,
So.; 220: Brandon Baird, Jr.; 285:
T.J. Evans, Sr.
Tournament Outlook: If it
wasnt for losing two bouts to
Coughlin by default in a dual last
month to begin the season, the
Spartans may have been the con-
ferences top seed. Either way,
WVW would likely have to get
past Delaware Valley to win the
event, but nowit may have to see
the Warriors in the semis instead
of the finals.
WVC No. 3 Pittston Area

Tournament Outlook: The Pa-
triots have advanced to the finals
five out of the last six years. If
they are to reach the champion-
ship dual again this time around,
they will have to go throughWest
Scranton and possibly Coughlin.
WVC No. 4 Hazleton Area
Record: 3-3 Division I, 4-16
overall
Last appearance: 2010 (defeat-
ed Delaware Valley in finals)
Last championship: 2010

Tournament Outlook: It seems
like it was just yesterday that the
Cougars were finishing off a four-
peat as duals champs. The team
has come a long way since a
rough 2011campaign, but it got a
tough draw having to face Dela-
ware Valley in the quarters. The
Cougars have wrestled a tough
schedule this season, including a
loss to DelVal in December.

WVC No. 1 Lake-Lehman
Record: 6-0 Division II, 18-1
overall
Last appearance: 2011 (lost to
Western Wayne in quarterfinals)
Last championship: 2004
Possible Lineup: 106: John To-
masura, Fr.; 113: Jimmy Stuart,

Tournament Outlook: Lake-
Lehman has reached the duals fi-
nals a district-record 10 times in
the 15-year history of the event
and may have the best chance of
any WVCteamto make it 11. The
Black Knights start off with
ScrantonPrep, having defeatedit
twice this season. Lehman has
defeated every teamin the brack-
et except Valley View and West-
ernWayne because those two we-
rent scheduled.
WVC No. 2 Dallas
Record: 5-1 Division II, 16-11
overall
Last appearance: 2011 (lost to
Meyers in finals)
Last championship: none
Possible Lineup: 106: Dominic

or Dominic Oliveri, So.; 195: Gar-
rett Artsma, Sr.; 220: Ryan Monk,
Fr.; 285: Jake Carr, Jr.
Tournament Outlook: If the
Mountaineers are going to ad-
vance to their second straight fi-
nal, they will likely have to get
past Lackawanna League top
seed Western Wayne in the semi-
finals for the secondyear ina row.
Dallas is looking for that elusive
first duals title after two previous
runner-up finishes in 2006 and
2011. This may be the teams best
chance since it is moving up to
Class 3A next year.

ed Dallas in finals)

Tournament Outlook: The Mo-
hawks have hada downyear after
winning the division and duals
championships last season. But if
theres a team that could pull off
upsets in this tournament,
Meyers is one of those teams if
the right matchups occur.
WVC No. 4 Wyoming Area
Record: 3-3 Division II, 6-8
overall
Last appearance: 2010 (lost to
Western Wayne in quarterfinals)

Jude Polit-Moran, Fr.; 195: Shawn
Whiting, Jr.; 220: Corey Popov-
ich, Sr.; 285: Carl Zielinski, Jr.
Tournament Outlook: For
their first appearance inthe event
since 2010, the Warriors will have
to take on their last opponent in
the same round with Western
Wayne. Under first-year coach
Steve Mytych, Wyoming Area
has been competitive in just
about every dual until the end.
That should be expected against
the Wildcats as well.

ning backs coach and recruiting
coordinator.
Mike McQueary hadprevious-
ly been Penn States recruiting
coordinator, with Bill Kava-
naugh taking over much of
those duties this past year.
London, too, credited John-
son with helping the program
through the transition.
He has been vital, London
said. From day one when I got
here, he was kind of the acting
recruiting coordinator until I
could get my feet on the ground
and figure out whats going on.
Every recruit I have talkedtohas
mentioned his name as a reason
why they have held their com-
mitment or came on their visit.
He is well respected in the ar-
ea and he has been vital to this
class, he and coach Vanderlin-
den.
While the pitch may be the
same for the new coaching staff,
some of the methods will cer-
tainly change.
Though OBrien said the em-
phasis in Penn States recruiting
will continue to be in Pennsylva-
nia and the mid-Atlantic region,
he said the programwill actively
recruit up and down the East
Coast as well, specifically men-
tioning Georgia and Florida as
areas of interest.
That showed in the newstaffs
first month with the late addi-
tion of Georgia quarterback Ste-
ven Bench to the class.
New names like Bench join
players like local star Eugene Le-
wis who stuck it out with Penn
State through the past few
months to create a unique group
of Lions.
Ill say this, the parents and
the kids that stayed with us,
they are all Penn State people,
Johnson said. They really are.
They stayed with us for all the
right reasons. They did not wav-
er. They hung around to see
what was going to happen.
This signing class, they are
going to be special kids. They
took a step, a leap of faith.

dent, healthy and strong. Envi-
sion him happy and fulfilled ex-
periencing with his team a vic-
tory this sunday.
Bundchen was said to have
confirmed it all with an email
to the paper saying: I am sur-
prised that you received this
email; it was a private note only
sent to close friends and fam-
ily.
Not exactly bulletin-board
material, but darned close for a
week that has been exceedingly
dull by Super Bowl standards:
no name-calling, fights or even
a whiff of controversy.
A copy of the Post made the
rounds at the Giants media
availability Thursday morning.
Brady was asked about it, too,
but no fireworks there:
I dont know anything about
that, so I dont know what it is.
Brady and Bundchen have
taken great pains to try to be a
normal couple well, as nor-
mal as one of Americas most
watched twosomes can be.
Hes a three-time Super Bowl
champ with two MVP awards
and a $72 million contract. Hes
GQ worthy with rugged good
looks and a flair for fashion, and
his hair is a source of endless
fascination. Shes a long-locked
Brazilian beauty who made her
name with Victorias Secret lin-
gerie and now moves every-
thing from shampoo to couture.
Shes the biggest name in mod-
eling, racking up $45 million in
2011, according to the latest an-
nual list by Forbes.com.
Brady was discovered in the
sixth round of the 2000 NFL
draft, Bundchen at age 14 in a
Brazilian fashion mall.
Theyre the kind of high-watt-
age stars who keep the paparaz-
zi in business. Yet they dont
have a reality TV show and
they dont do the party circuit,
and she isnt likely to show up
at Patriots games in a form-fit-
ting pink Brady jersey.
Theyre almost dare we
say it? boring.
He gave tiny glimpses of his
family life in response to ques-
tions during Super Bowl week
interviews.
Hell talk about his parents,
three older sisters, and his two
boys, one with an ex-girlfriend,
one with Bundchen. Hell men-
tion a childs chair with his
youngest sons name on it on
the floor of his locker in Foxbor-
ough, Mass., and remarked
about his boys favorite TV
shows and athletic abilities.
But his wife? He seldom, if
ever, mentioned her.
And never by name.
Asked at Tuesdays media
day if his wife had given him
any advice, he said: Throw the
ball quickly. She doesnt like it
when I get hit very often. My
guys up front do a great job of
protecting me.
His wife, too.
I feel Tommy really needs
our prayer, our support and
love at this time, her email
said, according to the Post.
Stay tuned.

the San Francisco 49ers after the
2010 season to become the Char-
gers defensive coordinator. He
was the Chargers third defen-
sive coordinator in five years. In
a strange twist, the Chargers re-
placed him with their lineback-
ers coach John Pagano, who is
Chuck Paganos brother.
Hell bring a great passion
and energy to our organization
and the defensive side of the
ball, ChuckPaganosaidof Man-
usky, who was the 49ers defen-
sive coordinator from 2007-
2010.
Manuskywas astar linebacker
at Dallas in the mid-1980s and at
Colgate where his was an All-
American. He went undrafted,
but carved out a 13-year NFL ca-
reer with Washington, Minneso-
ta and Kansas City as a special
teams standout and linebacker.
Manusky began his NFL
coaching career in 2001 as line-
backers coach for the Redskins
and held the same position with
the Chargers from 2002-2006.
He interviewed for the vacant
head coach position with the
Carolina Panthers prior to this
season.
I met with Greg (Wednes-
day) and (Thursday) with
Coach (Pagano), Colts General
Manager Ryan Grigson said on
the teams official website. I re-
ally feel good about him being a
part of this. A great fit. Hes ver-
satile within the scheme, 3-4,
4-3. Its part of the philosophy of
not trying to put a square peg in-
toa roundhole. He lines right up
with that.
Hes a football guy, passion-
ate, fire in his eyes. You know
when you sit with him for two
seconds hes an intense football
coach. Hes ready to come in
here and do some great things
with us.
MANUSKY
Continued from Page 1B
ing Bill Belichick and Tom Bra-
dy, Ill tell you that, Mara said.
But yeah, Im very happy for
Bob. He put his heart and soul
into those negotiations during a
very difficult time. The success
theyve had is well-deserved.
A difficult time doesnt tell
the half of it. Agreement on a
new 10-year labor deal came
barely a week after Kraft buried
his wife of 48 years, Myra, after a
battle with cancer. For much of
that time, Kraft shuttled back
and forth between her hospital
bed and the bargaining table,
largely because, like Mara, he
was one of the few owners the
players felt they could trust.
They saved me, Kraft said,
gesturing back over his shoulder
at the Patriots players on every
side of him. I never understood
what the word heartbroken
meant. Its hard for anyone to re-
late to it. My wife was 19 and I
was 20 when she proposed to
me. We had five kids right away.
Then they left and we became
best pals for 25 years. She was 98
pounds, read four books a week
and was healthy.
I thought she would outlive
me for 30 years. This horrible
cancer came andits wreckedmy
life. Havingthis team, he saidfi-
nally, has been a savior for me.
The close relationship be-
tweenthe short, silver-haired, al-
ways-nattily attired owner and
his XXL-sized players makes for
some interesting scenes. After
games, Kraft takes a tour of the
locker room, a broadsmile creas-
ing his features and hand ex-
tended in congratulations. But
he rarely gets from one end to
the other without disappearing
in one massive bear hug or an-
other froma fewof the veterans.
Theyre pretty sweaty, Kraft
laughed, and if youve seen pic-
tures, my feet usually arent
touching the ground.
Thats for sure, chuckled
Vince Wilfork, a massive nose
tackle whos one of the longest-
serving Patriots. He still has his
kids, but were probably his sec-
ond family. We see a lot more of
him since Mrs. Kraft passed on,
and you can see how hard hes
hurting. So we have some fun,
do things to try and take his
mind off of that.
And Sunday, he added,
weve got the chance to do a lit-
tle more.
Mara was around football
teams from the time he was just
a lad. The familys internship
policy practically required it: Be-
gin as a ballboy, get out to every
corner of the organization and
learn every phase of the oper-
ation from ticket sales to salary-
cap. Then, and only after reac-
hing the top, does the reigning
Mara have the luxury of getting
back down to the field.
I still remember Wellington
Mara coming out to watch us
work when I first got here, re-
called offensive line coach Pat
Flaherty, who arrived in 2004, a
year before the elder Mara died
at age 89. He got a kick out of it
because he knewhis stuff. But it
also sent a message to our guys.
It let them know their work was
important.
When John Mara took over,
he continued ... that kind of loy-
alty. Its almost like a blood
transfusion, Flaherty added. It
let our people know that even
with the change at the top, noth-
ing really changed not the ex-
pectations, not the attention to
detail, not what it means to play
for the Giants.
Mara is tall and angular, still
looking very much like the law-
yer he was for a fewyears before
rejoining the Giants in 1991.
I tried law for a while, he
said, but even while I was prac-
ticing, I knewId be back here. It
was hard to imagine Id wind up
doing anything else.
His look is softened this week
by polo shirts and team sweat-
ers. But like his father, John Ma-
ra is reserved and his even tem-
perament, inherited or not,
serves him well as the CEO of a
business where the emotional
swings of a season like this one
can take a severe toll.
In this business, its week by
week. Youre on top of the world
one week and you lose a couple
games and youre at the bottom.
But you cant let that affect your
decision-making. You have to let
the season play itself out be-
cause a lot of crazy things can
happen, he said.
More than once during his
tenure, the back page of the New
York tabloids called for coach
Tom Coughlins scalp, and each
time Mara stood firm. He has re-
sisted the urge to say I told you
so, recalling how a similarly
rocky season was rewarded with
that improbable Super Bowl win
in 2008.
As long as you believe in the
coaching staff, which we do, you
have to have the faith to let them
do their jobs. Fortunately, he
said, its worked out for us.
The Patriots only rough patch
this season came after consecu-
tive losses tothe Steelers andGi-
ants only the second time
NewEnglandlost twostraight in
the last nine years. Like Mara,
Kraft views his role as providing
stability at the top and over the
long term. He prides himself on
being able to identify talent at
every level of the organization,
then building the kind of rela-
tionships that enables thosewho
work for him to take risks.
You get good people with
you, youset thetone, andyouen-
courage them to be bold, he
said.

Its been a while since the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins have seen their biggest ri-
val, the Hershey Bears.
December 28tobeexact, when
the Penguins won 6-5 in shootout
at Hershey.
Still, the month apart has done
little tofade the Penguins memo-
ries of their East Division rival,
who they will face three times in
the next five games.
It all begins tonight when the
Bears come to town trailing the
Penguins by a point for first place
in the division. Faceoff is at 7:05
p.m.
We havent seen them for a
month, but it just seems like
were always around them even
when we dont play them, said
captain Ryan Craig. You always
know whats going on in Her-
shey.
Coming into tonight, the Pen-
guins have won five out of eight
contests against the Bears. The
Penguins travel to Hershey to
face the Bears again on Sunday,
followed by another trip to the
Giant Center on Sunday, Feb. 12.
It all adds up to a lot of points
on the line that could have a sig-
nificant impact on the standings.
Its huge, said forward Goeff
Walker. Theyre one point be-
hindus witha gameinhand. If we
can get a win tonight, that will
put us three points ahead to start
the weekend.
Right behind the Penguins and
Bears are the Norfolk Admirals,
who are three points out of first
place, making the division even
tighter.
But head coach John Hynes
isnt looking at the tight division
race. Hes just taking it one game
at a time.
Were really not talking about
it. Were talking about being
ready to go tonight, he said.
Thats our focus.
RUST, WILD INK CONTRACTS
On Thursday Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton signed F Matt Rust and
D Cody Wild to AHL contracts.
Wild was originially signed to a
professional try-out agreement
while was Rust was on an ama-
teur try-out agreement for most
of the season.
Wild, 24, has two assists and is
a plus-4 through 35 games. Wild
logged a ton of ice time when the
Penguins defense was riddled by
injuries and call-ups during the
first half of the season.
Hes earned it from day one,
Hynes said. No matter what sit-
uationhes beenin, hes donea ve-
ry good job. Codys a high charac-
ter player who we can rely on.
Rust joined the Penguins on
Oct. 11 and has two goals and
eight assists in 27 games. He has
developedintoa valuable penalty
killer and faceoff specialist dur-
ing his rookie season.
Like a lot of guys here, Matt
came in and had to earn a job. He
found a bit of a niche with the
penalty kill and faceoffs, Hynes
said. With both of these guys,
theres been a lot of consistency
to their games and thats what
you want Guys you can count
on regularly.
SCHNELL BACK
The Penguins recalled en-
forcer Ryan Schnell from Wheel-
ing on Thursday. In eight games
withthe Nailers this year, Schnell
posted 75 penalty minutes. With
tough guy Steve MacIntyre on
the roster, Hynes said Schnell
was sent to Wheeling to gain
some playingtime andcondition-
ing.
Ryans been a big part of our
team this year and we wanted to
have himin Wheeling to keep his
game sharp, Hynes said, adding
it is possible that he will dress
both Schnell and MacIntyre for
games.
The Penguins alsosignedFCo-
dy Chupp to a PTOon Thursday.
He has three assists in 10 games
over twostints withthe Penguins
this season, along with 22 points
in 29 games with Wheeling.
INJURY UPDATE
Hynes said F Brandon DeFazio
is day-to-day with an upper body
injury, while defensemen Alex-
andre Picard and Boris Valabik
arent close to returning. Hynes
added that Valabik, who has ap-
peared in three games, has not
been ruled out for the remainder
of the season.

Flyers, Caps exchange minor leaguers
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA Wayne Sim-
monds scored two goals, Matt Read
and Claude Giroux also had goals, and
the Philadelphia Flyers snapped Nash-
villes five-game winning streak with a
4-1 victory over the Predators on
Thursday night.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 26 saves to earn
his 175th career win, and the Flyers
finally played just 60 minutes. They
went to a shootout in their previous
three contests, losing twice.
Ryan Suter had Nashvilles lone goal.
The Predators had won nine of their
last 10 games and entered with the
NHLs best record since Dec. 28, going
13-2.
Simmonds gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead
with 4:19 left in the first period. His
turnaround wrister sailed through
traffic and past goaltender Anders
Lindback.
Simmonds power-play goal with
4:41 left in the game sealed the win
after the Predators cut the deficit to
2-1. Simmonds scored his 15th goal off
a rebound of a shot by Giroux, who
added an empty-netter.
It was a much-needed home win for
Philadelphia in a matchup of two
teams that came in second in their
division and fourth in their conference.
The Flyers improved to 12-7-4 at the
Wells Fargo Center.
A few minutes after the Flyers failed
to capitalize on a two-man advantage,
Read extended the lead to 2-0 with an
unassisted goal in the second period.
Read stole the puck from Kevin Klein
near Philadelphias blue line and start-
ed a breakaway. He faked a pass to
Harry Zolnierczyk and fired a slap shot
from the left faceoff circle that went
through Lindbacks legs.
Read, an undrafted free agent, leads
NHL rookies with 16 goals. The 25-
year-old forward is strengthening his
bid to win the Calder Trophy with
every goal.
Nashvilles Craig Smith nearly tied it
at 1 in the second period when his
one-timer hit the post. Seconds later,
Bryzgalov made the save on Smiths
point-blank shot from inside the right
faceoff circle.
Smith finally got the Predators a
tally when he set up Suters goal with
11:23 remaining. Smith sent a crossing
pass between Flyers defenseman An-
drej Meszaros legs to Suter, who
scored his first goal in 27 games to get
Nashville within 2-1.
Hurricanes 3, Bruins 0
BOSTON Cam Ward made 47
saves 22 in the first period and 20 in
the third Brandon Sutter had a goal
and an assist, and the Carolina Hurri-
canes finished their first season-sweep
of the Boston Bruins with a victory.
The Hurricanes, who won all four
meetings with the Bruins, are 15-25-9
against the rest of the NHL and are last
in the Eastern Conference. Carolina
outscored Boston 14-5 in the season
sweep, the franchises first over Bos-
ton, dating to the days when the team
was the Hartford Whalers.
Eric Staal scored in the first period,
Tuomo Ruutu converted Sutters re-
bound in the second, and Sutter added
a goal 3:13 into the third.
Devils 5, Canadiens 3
NEWARK, N.J. Zach Parise
scored two goals, including the go-
ahead tally with 2:44 remaining, and
the New Jersey Devils beat the Mon-
treal Canadiens.
David Clarkson also scored twice,
including an empty-netter in the final
seconds. Dainius Zubrus added a goal,
and Ilya Kovalchuk had three assists
for the Devils, who have won two
straight. Martin Brodeur made 27
saves.
Jets 2, Lightning 1
TAMPA, Fla. Kyle Wellwood
scored 3:14 into overtime to lead the
Winnipeg Jets past the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
Wellwood scored from in close off a
left-circle pass from Blake Wheeler.
Wheeler also scored for the Jets,
who had lost seven straight games at
Tampa Bay dating to the teams days in
Atlanta. Ondrej Pavelec finished with
30 saves.
Victor Hedman scored and Mathieu
Garon stopped 22 shots for the Light-
ning, who snapped a season-best five-
game winning streak. Garon fell to 5-1
overall against the Atlanta/Winnipeg
franchise.

Jillian Seamon is competing
with the University of Delaware
womens indoor track teamthis
winter, but its only to get ready
for the outdoor season.
Seamon (Hazleton Area) is
competing in the 20-pound
weight throwand finished
eighth in that event at last Sat-
urdays Thomson Invitational at
Delaware.
But Seamons main event with
the Blue Hens is the javelin,
which is held during the outdoor
season that starts in March.
Shes a two-time Colonial Athlet-
ic Association champion in that
event after finishing second as a
freshman.
I see Jillian continuing her
victory mark at the CAACham-
pionships this spring, coach
Wendy MacFarlane said. Our
hope is for her to qualify for the
(NCAA) East Regionals and
possibly the NCAAs this year.
Seamon didnt compete in-
door last season so MacFarlane
is happy to have her on the squad
this winter.
Jillian is a delightful person,
the coach said. She is so easy to
get along with and her pleasant
personality and her willingness
to work for her success are just a
fewof her attributes.
She has been working very
hard trying to balance her senior
year responsibilities as an athlet-
ic training major and being the
best athlete she can be. She gets
the job done both on and off the
field.
The Blue Hens will compete in
the NewBalance Invitational
today and Saturday in the New
York City Armory.
HIMLINLEARNINGTHE
ROPES Freshman SamHimlin
(Wyoming Valley West) has
played in the last eight games off
the bench for the Navy womens
basketball team. A6-foot-1for-
ward, shes averaging 2.5 points
with11rebounds, four assists, a
block and a steal. Shes getting
10.5 minutes a game.
Samis having a solid season
for a freshman, coach Stefanie
Pemper said. She has nice size
and athleticismfor her position.
She has a lot to learn in terms of
footwork in the post, using her
strength to get position and
taking time to read the defense.
Division I is a big jump in terms
of the mental facility needed to
execute a game plan and the
physical expectations of working
hard all the time, but Sams been
coachable so far and we enjoy
working with her.
Himlin played at Naval Acade-
my Prep last season.
I think that our prep school
helped her acclimate to the
military, Pemper said. Right
nowshes averaging12 minutes a
game in conference play and
were hoping she can continue to
improve every week the remain-
der of the season. We need her to
be a presence inside on both end
of the court and we need her to
rebound.
The Midshipmen are11-10
overall and 4-3 in the Patriot
League.
EDWARDS BACKONTHE
TRACK After a great senior
season, graduate student Brenae
Edwards is still breaking records
for the Mansfield womens in-
door track team.
Edwards (Hazleton Area)
broke her own school record in
the recent Great Dane Classic at
the NewYork City Armory. Run-
ning in an all-NCAADivision I
heat, Edwards finished fourth in
9:57.24. She had set the mark in
2010 (10:02.0).
Actually, the 5,000 is her best
indoor event. Shes the defend-
ing PSACchampion and earned
All-American honors by finishing
seventh in the Division II Cham-
pionships last season. She also
earned All-American honors last
fall by finishing eighth in the
NCAACross Country Cham-
pionships. And she earned Aca-
demic All-American honors last
year.
Brenae is a fine example of
the words student-athlete be-
cause she works hard in the
classroomand is passionate
about running, coach Nadine
Parker said. She also works
hard to mentor and lead her
teammates.
Parker likes Edwards no-quit
attitude.
Whatever obstacles or chal-
lenges she may face she digs
deep and perseveres, the coach
said. She ran a great race at the
(cross country) nationals last fall
and were excited to see her
compete during the indoor and
outdoor seasons.
The Mountaineers will com-
pete in the Division II Challenge
Saturday in Painesville, Ohio.
The PSACChampionships are
set for Feb. 25-26 in Edinboro.
ZACKGETS HIS CHANCE
Moravian senior Gary Zack
(Crestwood) captured the NCAA
Division III javelin title last sea-
son. Thats a spring sport so
Zack usually has no competition
during the winter. But this win-
ter is the exception.
Lehigh had a javelin competi-
tion in our first meet, but thats
very rare, coach Jesse Baumann
said. In fact, its the only one
that I knowof in the winter.
Zack took advantage of the
chance and won the event with a
196-11effort.
That was about 25 feet shy of
his PR(personal record), but
thats a good starting point since
its very early and were obvi-
ously targeting late spring to
peak him, Baumann said.
The coach feels that Zacks
success comes fromhis self-
discipline and focus.
You wont find an athlete who
is more meticulous in their train-
ing or who pays closer attention
to details than Gary, Baumann
said. I have no doubt he will be
able to repeat as NCAAcham-
pion this spring.
TAMANINI WITHWILD-
CATS Freshman Chris Tamani-
ni (Dallas) is a member of the
Villanova mens swimteam.
Tamanini has been scoring
points in the 50 and 500 frees-
tyle, the100 backstroke and with
the freestyle and medley relay
teams for the Wildcats.
Chris has been a great addi-
tion to our program, coach
Richard Simpson said. Our
philosophy is to bring in some
great kids that fly under the
radar and then watch themde-
velop over their four years here.
Chris is already on his way. Hes
made some huge strides in just a
fewmonths.
Simpson likes what he sees
when it comes to Tamaninis
demeanor.
Attitude is so crucial in the
long collegiate season and Chris
brings a great attitude and work
ethic with himto training every
day, the coach said. He also
brings great character to our
program. Its only a matter of
time before he steps into a lead-
ership role on the team.
KRAYNAKS INTHESWIM
Senior Marissa Kraynak (Wyom-
ing Valley West) has been a four-
year performer with the Drew
womens swimteam.
Kraynak started out as a dis-
tance swimmer (500, 1,000 and
1,650 freestyle) and is nowcom-
peting in the100 and 200 back-
stroke as well. She finished12th
in the 200 back at last years
Landmark Conference Cham-
pionships.
Head coach Eric Scheingoltz
and assistant Brian ONeil also
joined the Rangers programfour
years ago.
We all arrived together and
since then there have been a
noticeable improvement in the
programand Marissas swim-
ming, Scheingoltz said.
Kraynak figures to compete in
both backstroke events as well as
the 500 free at this years Land-
mark Championships fromFeb.
10-12 at Marywood University.
DRUMHELLERHELPS GI-
ANTS Junior Rebecca Drum-
heller (Hazleton Area) is a valua-
ble member of the Keystone
womens track team. She was
also a solid performer with the
Giants cross country teamlast
fall.
Drumheller competes in long
sprints and middle distance
races and is a key member of the
4x200 and 4x400 relay teams.
Rebecca came off a strong
cross country season and shes a
member of our school record-
breaking 800 and1,600 meter
relay teams, coach Michael
Badway said. Her big individual
goal for this year is to get the
school record for 400 meters
both indoors and outdoors.
ADAMSHICKCHIPS IN
Freshman Selena Adamshick has
played in all 18 games and start-
ed15 for the California (Pa.)
womens basketball team.

javelin champion.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.
Ryan Palmer parred his final
hole at dusk for a 7-under 64
and the lead Thursday in the
suspended first round of the
Phoenix Open.
The start of the round was
delayed an hour because of
frost, and play was suspended
because of darkness at 6:05
p.m. with 42 players unable to
finish. Last year, frost and fro-
zen greens delayed play nine
hours during the week, forc-
ing a Monday finish.
I knew I was going to be
here in the morning for the
second round, so I wasnt wor-
ried about it if we had to
come back and restart, Palm-
er said. So, I didnt think
about it and I just kept hitting
shots and sticking to my
game plan.
Webb Simpson was a stroke
back on the Stadium Course
at TPC Scottsdale.
Its one of those courses
that just fits your eye well,
said Simpson, the highest-
ranked player in the field at
No. 6.
Palmer switched back to a
trusted Odyssey putter model
after missing the cuts in his
previous starts this year in the
Sony Open and Humana Chal-
lenge. The three-tour PGA
Tour winner made seven bird-
ie putts from 10-15 feet.
I used the exact same put-
ter the last two years, and of
course had two of the best
years of my career, Palmer
said. But toward the end of
the year last year, around the
BMW, I just got frustrated
with not making anything, so
I thought Id try something
different, put a similar style
head in play and actually had
some success.

Prudential, states settle
The Pennsylvania Insurance Depart-
ment and regulators in six other states
announced Thursday a settlement with
Prudential Insurance Company of
America and some of its affiliates in
which the company agreed to change
its policies to better locate benefici-
aries..
Under the agreement, Prudential
will use the Social Security Adminis-
trations Death Master File on a uni-
form basis for locating beneficiaries
and making payments to them. It also
requires Prudential to pay a total of $17
million to those states participating in
the agreement.
Downs slots sluggish
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs
showed the second-slowest growth in
slot machine revenue among Penn-
sylvanias 10 casinos in January. State-
wide slot revenue grew by 7.4 percent
over January 2011, to $190.5 million.
The Plains Township casinos slots
added 1.6 percent in revenue, to $18.4
million, the seventh most in the state.
Mount Airy Casino Resort near
Mount Pocono showed 2.3 percent
growth, but had the lowest slot reve-
nue of any Pennsylvania casino, $10.8
million.
The state collected $103.5 million in
tax revenue from slot play in January.
Jobless claims fall again
The number of people seeking unem-
ployment benefits fell last week to a
level that signaled a steadily improving
job market.
Unemployment applications fell
12,000 to a seasonally adjusted
367,000, the Labor Department said
Thursday. The four-week average, a
less volatile measure, dropped for the
third straight week to 375,750.
Thats the second-lowest level for the
four-week average since June 2008.
Another report showed worker pro-
ductivity rose at a 0.7 percent annual
rate, a slower pace in the fourth quar-
ter than in the prior three months.
Workers comp costs down
The Pennsylvania Insurance Depart-
ment has approved a 5.7 percent de-
crease in overall workers compensa-
tion costs that will result in $160 mil-
lion in savings for Pennsylvania em-
ployers, Insurance Commissioner Mike
Consedine said Thursday.
Individual employers rates will vary
according to the type of business, as
well as the employers specific claims
history.

WILKES-BARRE A new 10,000-
square-foot Chinese restaurant is coming
to the citys edge.
According to Marvin Slomowitz of
Mark Coal Street Associates, once all zon-
ing approvals are received a free-standing
buildingwill bebuilt alongBusinessRoute
309 between Walgreens and Pep Boys au-
to parts.
Weve already signed a lease, Slomo-
witz said. We hope to break ground by
April. This will be a first-class Chinese res-
taurant the largest in the region.
Slomowitzsaidit will takeapproximate-
ly four months to construct the building,
meaning an early fall opening is targeted.
Bill Harris, the citys director of plan-
ning and zoning, said the developer is
seeking a variance to reduce the number
of parking spaces.
It wont be a chain restaurant, Slomo-
witzsaid. Aprivatefamilywill operatethe
restaurant.
Slomowitz said the family operates a
Chinese restaurant in Bloomsburg.
As soon as we get all the permits, we
will get started, he said.
According to a legal notice published
Thursday, the developer is seeking to re-
duce the number of required parking
spaces from124 to 104 at the 410 Wilkes-
Barre Township Blvd. lot, near the end of
Coal Street. A variance to waive the re-
quired off-street loading berth in order to
construct the building also is being
sought.
The area is zoned C-4 heavy commer-
cial.
The city Zoning Hearing Board meets
Feb. 15 at 4:30 p.m. in Council Chambers,
fourth floor, City Hall.
Planned W-B eatery seeks zoning aid
New Chinese restaurant would be
operated by an area family.

BALTIMORE Offshore
wind farms along the East Coast
took a big step closer to reality
with the completion of a review
that showed the renewable ener-
gy source would not cause major
environmental damage, officials
said Thursday.
ObamaadministrationInterior
Secretary Ken Salazar also said
his department was trying to
speed up the process for issuing
renewable energy leases. Wind
projects off the coasts of Mary-
land, Delaware, Virginia, and
New Jersey are being studied.
There are a number of devel-
opers who are very interested in
developing offshore wind here
and our goal is to hold the auc-
tions andbe able toissue the leas-
es now, in2012, Salazar said. Do-
minionVirginiaPower saidthat it
is interestedinbuilding upto 400
wind turbines in waters about 20
miles off Virginia Beach. The
2,000 megawatts the turbines
could produce would generate
enough power for 500,000 house-
holds.
The Interior Department said
before the waters would be
opened, the public would have a
chance to comment.
Michele Siekerka, the Assist-
ant Commissioner of Economic
Growth and Green Energy in
New Jerseys Department of En-
vironmental Protection, said
Thursdays announcement will
speedthebuildingof offshoretur-
bines by a year or more.
Eleven developers have sub-
mitted proposals totaling 12,000
megawatts and are expected to
be able to bid later this year for
leases. The companies will still
have to do environmental studies
of their own areas, but could be
producingpower by2016or 2017,
she said.
East Coast
wind farms
get a boost
By ALEX DOMINGUEZ
Associated Press
The numbers in Facebooks IPO filing
this week give us the picture of a titan,
but not an unstoppable one.
Such filings, as a matter of course,
must recite a list of even the most unlike-
ly of risk factors. Many are just boiler-
plate.
But there are four areas where the
company shows clear vulnerability.
MOBILE: Facebook said it had 425
million monthly active users who access
Facebook through a smartphone, tablet
or some other mobile product. Thats
morethanhalf of the845millionwhouse
Facebook.
The problem: Facebook serves no ads
on its mobile products. And therefore, it
makes no money directly fromthose mo-
bile users.
The lack of a clear mobile strategy was
the headline for Chris Silva, an analyst
with Altimeter Group.
I think it can materially change the
fortunes of Facebook, Silva said.
ZYNGA: The IPO filing revealed that
12 percent of Facebooks revenues come
through ads and payments from Zynga
games such as FarmVille and City-
Ville. Thats up from10 percent the pre-
vious year.
So Facebook needs Zynga to keep
making hit games almost as much as
Zynga does.
USER GROWTH: The company has
built its remarkable revenue growth by
insisting that it was mainly focused on
building its user base. The strategy has
paid off, and Facebook has silenced the
doubters.
But there are only so many people on-
line, about 2 billion, and Facebook has
845 million of them. Subtract the 500
million in China, and there arent many
left to get. So, inevitably, growth slows.
GOVERNANCE: Founder Mark Zuck-
erberg has arrangedextraordinary agree-
ments that allow him to vote the shares
of his biggest investors. That gives him
final say on just about all strategic deci-
sions and corporate governance issues.
Thats fine as long as things are hunky-
dory and growth and profits are headed
up and to the right. But if there is a stum-
ble, all the criticism is likely to fall on
Zuckerbergs shoulders. The pressure
from the markets will be intense. And
when that happens, his ideals will be
tested to a degree that may be hard for
him to imagine.

Dry northerly
winds overnight
helped to clear
out the clouds,
setting us up for
a good deal of
sunshine today.
Despite the
arrival of colder
temperatures,
the bare ground
is able to absorb
more of the
sun's energy,
which will help
to keep readings
above normal
the next few
days and nights.
A nearby zone of
high pressure
will sponsor
more sunshine
tomorrow. As a
stormapproach-
es on Sunday, a
cold front diving
southward out of
Canada will
deect the
storm south of
here and so the
dry weather will
continue. In fact,
I expect nothing
more than flur-
ries here
through the mid-
dle of next week.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be likely ahead of a storm system from the
central Gulf Coast to the southern Plains. A few strong to severe storms will be possible. Rain will be
the rule for much fo the central Plains, except for snow over far western areas. Heavy snow will fall
across the central Rockies as well.
